UNSPSC 50496813: Organic bittermelon purees

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

UNSPSC 50496813 Organic bittermelon purees is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty produce items, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little direct activity in bittermelon purees specifically. Instead, the opportunities reveal that state and local agencies use produce-related UNSPSC codes to procure broad food-service consumables ranging from fresh and frozen vegetables to canned and shelf-stable staples, often bundling them with proteins, dairy, grains, and food-service supplies for institutional feeding programs. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county nutrition and senior services programs, school districts, and correctional facilities — jurisdictions with high-volume, recurring food-service needs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Oregon's Department of Corrections also solicit regularly under similar produce codes.

The geographic spread encompasses Texas, Georgia, and Oregon as primary activity centers based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, which bundled prepared foods and food-service supplies across 22 line items; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins and vegetables; and Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) requesting 7,616 cases with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case. The code shows no activity in organic bittermelon purees within the recent opportunities block; procurement activity under this code tier reflects institutional food-service buying focused on volume shelf-stable and prepared items rather than specialty organic produce.
