UNSPSC 50496000: Organic spinach purees

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

UNSPSC 50496000 Organic spinach purees, a Class code, does not reflect the scope of state and local procurement actually posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass broad consumable food and kitchen product sourcing across multiple agencies and jurisdictions — not specialty produce items such as organic spinach purees. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, and the Oregon Department of Corrections have all solicited food and consumable products in recent months, but none of the posted solicitations name organic spinach purees or closely related specialty produce as line items. The representative opportunities list prepared foods, shelf-stable staples, canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce assortments, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies — categories substantially broader than a single organic vegetable purée product. Texas HHSC and TDCJ procure food at scale for state-supported living centers, hospitals, prisons, and correctional facilities with standing annual or multi-year contracts; school districts source comprehensive cafeteria food portfolios across dozens or hundreds of line items for Child Nutrition programs; and county and regional agencies buy food for senior services and community programs. This code as named does not map to the work state and local governments are actually buying under it.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas accounting for the largest volume through HHSC, TDCJ, and prison system buys. No recent opportunities specifically reference organic spinach purees or comparable specialty produce. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-year value of $1.5 million and the TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple Texas warehouse locations serving the prison system, both with response deadlines in May 2026. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for school nutrition food products with 100+ line items across multiple categories, due June 15, 2026, and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia, solicited nearly 400 line items for five schools with bids due June 5, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026. This code shows considerable recent activity, but the mismatch between the nominal scope (organic spinach purees) and the actual work being bought (broad institutional food service and school nutrition sourcing) signals that vendors evaluating this code should verify the accuracy of the UNSPSC designation before pursuing opportunities.
