UNSPSC 50495604: Organic marian rutabaga purees

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

UNSPSC 50495604 Organic marian rutabaga purees is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty vegetable purees—does not match the nature of solicitations tagged to it. Recent opportunities under this code cover general food service procurement: weekly food orders for a state veterans home, cafeteria food products for correctional facilities, fresh produce and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, and supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers. None of these solicitations target organic rutabaga purees or any specialty pureed vegetables as a line item or primary focus.

State and local governments purchasing under this code are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System in Georgia; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia state agencies), and one county correctional system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Recent activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in Georgia and Texas, followed by activity in Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) seeking broad grocery supply across 45 schools and distribution kitchens; Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers (due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items IFB (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items. The code shows substantial activity but carries a taxonomic mismatch—vendors responding to this code should expect to bid on mainstream food service categories rather than specialty pureed products.
