UNSPSC 50496804: Organic arrow root purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic arrow root which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496804 Organic arrow root purees is a Commodity code for processed vegetable and fruit purees that state and local governments are not actively procuring. The recent opportunities solicited under this code across state and local jurisdictions show no relevance to organic arrow root purees specifically. The sourced records capture food service procurements by the State of Illinois, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple Georgia school districts, Missouri school districts, and other state and local nutrition programs, but none of these opportunities name or specify organic arrow root purees as a line item or product category. The code assignment appears to be a taxonomy mismatch between what state and local buyers are actually requesting and the UNSPSC category label applied to these solicitations.

State and local governments are purchasing food products at scale through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies—but the current market activity under this code number involves canned tomatoes, fresh produce, cheese, proteins, dairy products, bakery items, and comprehensive food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items. No recent solicitation references purees of any kind, organic or conventional, as a standalone commodity. The issuing bodies—school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia; state departments of corrections; and state health and human services commissions—are buying through IFB, RFP, and RFQ notices with response dates from January through July 2026, but none of these procurements specify organic arrow root purees. If organic puree suppliers are pursuing state and local contracts, they should verify that their products are being tagged correctly in procurement systems rather than relying on activity under this code to guide market entry.
