UNSPSC 50496015: Organic iceplant spinach purees

The variety of organic spinach known as organic iceplant spinach which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496015 Organic iceplant spinach purees is a Commodity code covering specialized food products for institutional meal service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for organic spinach purees specifically. Instead, the code sits within a broader procurement landscape where state agencies, school districts, and institutional service providers are actively sourcing diverse fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned goods, and prepared food products through multi-category food service contracts. The issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County systems in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI and Ben Hill County systems in Missouri and Georgia), and special-purpose state institutions (state supported living centers and hospitals in Texas). School nutrition programs represent the heaviest concentration of recent procurement activity under related food-service codes, with contracts ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million annually and covering hundreds of line items per solicitation.

Recent representative opportunities illustrate the scope: Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) sought 76 minimum food items for delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covered 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) anticipated $9 million in annual spending across 32 schools; and Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) sought fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies for four schools under Buy American requirements. Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity geographically, followed by Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Contracts typically run July through June to align with school years, require firm pricing for initial periods with limited midterm adjustments tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index data, mandate HACCP plans and food safety compliance, and enforce Buy American Act provisions emphasizing domestic agricultural content. Commodity-level specificity such as organic spinach purees appears subsumed within broader vegetable or produce line items rather than solicited as standalone SKUs, suggesting vendors pursuing this code should position products as part of integrated fresh or frozen vegetable portfolios meeting institutional nutritional standards.
