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 sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—the Illinois Veterans Home's FY-27 quarterly food order (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026)—does not explicitly request chickpea purees; the solicitation covers generic weekly food supply items with brand-specific or approved equivalents, and the actual product mix is not detailed in available documents. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and state and local governments appear to source organic legume products, when required, as part of broader food service or school nutrition contracts rather than through commodity-specific procurements.

State and local food service procurement—including school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and institutional cafeterias—dominates the recent activity across UNSPSC 504xxxxx food product codes. A representative sample includes Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026; prior value $1.5 million annually), Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato and tomato paste orders (ITB S2910000017145 and S2910000016089), and school district food service contracts such as Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB 26271, due June 15, 2026), and Douglas County School System food supply distribution (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated value $9 million annually). Issuing bodies span state departments, county school districts, and independent school districts across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with significant activity in the Pacific Northwest and mid-Atlantic regions. The code itself—organic chickpea purees—aligns with specialty ingredient procurement, but recent opportunities show that state and local buyers source such items as line items within broader food service RFPs rather than through standalone commodity solicitations.
