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 align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The sourced opportunities overwhelmingly document broad food service procurement across produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared items for school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies — none of which specifically target organic spinach purees or any spinach product. The code's nominal scope does not match what state and local governments are actually buying under the 50496000 tag in the current market.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food service contracts include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools), correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). Recent opportunities span Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, multiple health care facilities), Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). The code shows substantial activity in commodity food procurement but exhibits a mismatch between its nominal classification and actual sourced opportunities.
