UNSPSC 50496769: Organic tuxedo corn purees

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

UNSPSC 50496769 Organic tuxedo corn purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single specialty food product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no solicitations for organic tuxedo corn purees or anything resembling that product. The actual work being solicited under this code spans broad consumable food procurement — shelf-stable dry goods, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, fresh and frozen produce, and food service supplies — driven primarily by state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and hospitals, along with county and municipal school districts supplying cafeteria nutrition programs and corrections departments provisioning inmate meals. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, the State of Georgia, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The code shows little relevant activity aligned with its stated scope; the mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests either taxonomic misclassification at the source or a stale or misapplied code designation.

Recent opportunities span Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations for state supported living centers and hospitals, TDCJ cafeteria items), Georgia (Gwinnett County informal quotes for shelf-stable foods, Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Schools food bids, State of Georgia food and kitchen products), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, posting at least three opportunities between May and October 2026 for consumable foods supporting residential care facilities with response dates ranging from June through October. Representative recent work includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared items and food service supplies) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting bids for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 purchase. Contract values where disclosed include historical estimates of $1.5 million annually for HHSC El Paso facility procurement and $4.5 million across three years (including renewal options) for the supplemental food and consumables statewide procurement.
