UNSPSC 50495900: Organic sorrel purees

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

UNSPSC 50495900 Organic sorrel purees is a Class code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable food consumables, prepared foods, and food service supplies procured by state institutions, school districts, and other public entities. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope—sorrel purees do not appear in any of the posted opportunities. Instead, the code captures broader institutional food procurement: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited consumable foods and kitchen items for state-supported living centers; the Oregon Department of Corrections has bid canned tomatoes; Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Gwinnett County have sought comprehensive grocery and food-service supply packages for school nutrition programs; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has procured cafeteria food products across multiple warehouses. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, county school districts, and county social services programs. Work is typically solicited through IFB (Invitation for Bid) or IWQ (informal written quote) notices with response deadlines of 7 to 30 days.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple consumables procurements for state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million annually and a three-year potential value of $4.5 million across food and consumables for hospitals and supported living centers statewide. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (eight truckloads) due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase pricing at $13.75 per case; Oregon applies a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County, Burke County, and Gwinnett County—have issued food bids spanning nearly 400 line items each, with firm pricing for initial periods followed by semi-annual or quarterly adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation. The State of Illinois has solicited quarterly weekly food orders, and the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid. Vendors responding to these solicitations must typically provide three references, maintain liability insurance, comply with Buy American Act requirements where applicable, implement HACCP plans, and meet E-Verify and debarment certification requirements. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination with inside delivery in most cases, and performance bonds or references verifying similar-scale institutional food service are standard.
