UNSPSC 50496808: Organic bamboo shoot purees

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

UNSPSC 50496808 Organic bamboo shoot purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments solicited under this code show little activity matching its nominal scope. Recent opportunities tagged with this code—including consumables for state supported living centers in Texas, school nutrition programs in Georgia, corrections facilities in Oregon, and other institutional food service—span standard shelf-stable groceries (canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, frozen entrees, dairy, condiments) and food service supplies (containers, napkins, trays, straws) rather than bamboo shoot purees or specialty produce. The issuing bodies are state health and human services agencies, school districts, state corrections and institutional facilities, and county nutrition programs across multiple states. None of the recent opportunities identified in the source explicitly reference bamboo shoot purees or specialty Asian produce lines; the code appears to be a misclassification tag applied to general food procurement activity.

The geographic spread covers Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospital systems), Georgia (school districts in Ben Hill County and Burke County, Gwinnett County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state weekly food orders). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies for fiscal year 2027; Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across four schools (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows no meaningful recent procurement activity aligned with organic bamboo shoot purees.
