UNSPSC 50496818: Organic chickpea purees

The variety of organic vegetable known as organic chickpeas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496818, Organic chickpea purees, is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the UNSPSC hierarchy. Recent state and local solicitations do not show active procurement of organic chickpea purees. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional canteens, food service operations, and school nutrition programs—including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy items, condiments, and fresh produce—but do not identify chickpea purees, organic or otherwise, as a line item. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual food categories in recent bids suggests the code sees little relevant activity in state and local markets, or opportunities are tagged inconsistently with the products actually being solicited.

State and local jurisdictions issuing food procurement notices include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state supported living centers), county governments (Gwinnett County in Georgia, Ben Hill County in Georgia, Burke County in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia. Recent bids span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with activity concentrated in institutional food service for state facilities, correctional systems, schools, and community services. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which covers prepared foods and food service supplies on a 22-line-item basis; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). None of these solicitations reference organic chickpea purees as a required or optional item.
