UNSPSC 50496702: Organic alpine corn purees

The type of organic corn known as organic alpine corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496702 Organic alpine corn purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The code's most recent opportunities show minimal activity specifically for organic alpine corn purees. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve broad food service procurement for state institutions, school districts, and county agencies — primarily fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared food products including proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies for cafeterias, kitchens, and food service operations at state supported living centers, corrections facilities, schools, and senior services centers. The issuing bodies are typically state health and human services departments, state corrections agencies, school districts, and county boards of commissioners, soliciting through IFBs and informal written quotes (IWQs) for annual or multi-year food service supply contracts with fixed or adjustable pricing based on market indices.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026; HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; and HHS0016792V2 due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, solicited cafeteria food products under IFB 304T26300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) for distribution across five geographic regions. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026. School districts in Georgia and potentially other states regularly procure comprehensive food service packages through IFBs with 400+ line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items. The Oregon Department of Corrections focused on canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case in the prior purchase). These procurements emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions where applicable, state preferences (Oregon fabrication preference of 5%), delivery within 7 to 72 hours, F.O.B. Destination pricing, and vendor qualifications including references, insurance, HACCP certification, and E-Verify compliance. The code shows activity but does not meaningfully correspond to organic alpine corn puree procurement — vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid on mainstream institutional food service items rather than specialty or organic-specific products.
