UNSPSC 50496807: Organic arum purees

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

UNSPSC 50496807 Organic arum purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for arum purees or arum-based products. Instead, the tagged opportunities show broad-based food service procurement — school nutrition programs, state institutional feeding (correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, veterans homes), and related consumables — spanning fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and general grocery supply. The code designation appears to be a data-entry or classification artifact rather than a reflection of actual buying activity under this specific commodity.

School districts represent the dominant issuing body across the recent opportunities, with at least ten solicitations from K-12 nutrition programs in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Burke County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County). State institutional buyers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs) account for five additional recent solicitations. The geographic spread is concentrated in the South and Upper Midwest — Georgia dominates with multiple school district awards and state-level food procurement; Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia each show one to three opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 food bid (IFB, June 15, 2026 response date) covering fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies; Texas HHSC's food and consumable products procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, July 13, 2026 response date); and Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000017145, June 19, 2026 response date, approximately 7,616 cases at prior pricing of $13.75 per case). The code itself does not align with the buying activity actually occurring under these opportunities, suggesting a classification mismatch rather than genuine market demand for arum purees in state and local procurement.
