UNSPSC 50496740: Organic merlin corn purees

The variety of organic corn known as organic merlin corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496740 Organic merlin corn purees is a Commodity code that sees little concrete activity matching its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of organic corn purees; instead, they describe broad food service contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health agencies seeking diverse grocery and produce items—proteins, dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables, canned goods, condiments, and prepared foods across hundreds of line items per opportunity. The code's narrow product name does not align with what is actually being solicited.

State and local issuing bodies in the recent record include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County, Burke County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems across multiple states; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county and municipal education boards. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia, with additional activity from Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, responses due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections seeking canned tomatoes and tomato paste (ITBs S2910000017145 and S2910000016089, June and March 2026 closing dates), Fairfax County Public Schools seeking a Master Grocery K-12 contract for 45 schools plus distribution centers (IFB 2000004323, responses due April 27, 2026), and multiple Georgia school districts seeking food products and fresh produce under RFPs and IFBs with estimated annual values ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $9 million. Because the code's actual usage does not track its stated commodity, filtering opportunities by this specific UNSPSC code would capture a large, heterogeneous set of food service contracts rather than suppliers focused on corn purees.
