UNSPSC 50495300: Organic pea purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic peas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50495300 Organic pea purees, a Class code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are predominantly grocery and food service procurement for school districts, state correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and veterans homes—covering canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, frozen entrees, dairy products, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies rather than organic pea purees specifically. The issuing bodies are school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Douglas County School System), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), with school districts representing the most frequent buyers in recent notices.

Activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies showing the densest recent solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (sealed bids due April 27, 2026 via Bonfire), the Rockwood R-VI School District's Grocery Items and Grocery NOI procurement for the 2026-27 school year (electronic bids due April 29, 2026, serving approximately 19,000 students), and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services supporting approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools (estimated annual expenditure $9 million, sealed proposals due February 18, 2026). School district solicitations typically specify Buy American requirements, USDA compliance, HACCP plans, firm pricing structures with limited midterm adjustment provisions tied to published indices, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple sites, and general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement suggests either misclassification in state procurement systems or use of a parent code to tag diverse food-service buying across multiple product lines.
