UNSPSC 50496820: Organic dandelion green purees

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

UNSPSC 50496820 Organic dandelion green purees (Commodity) is a narrow food-product code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source includes no recent solicitations for organic dandelion green purees or related specialty greens. Instead, the identified opportunities under this code tag generic food procurement across multiple product categories—proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, condiments, and staple grocery items—rather than targeting a specific organic vegetable product line. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited suggests the code either sees minimal relevant activity or is incorrectly tagged by issuing bodies in practice.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad food-service procurement by state agencies, county governments, and school districts acquiring consumable foods for cafeterias, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Center bids), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographic activity spans Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin consumables, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (1,062 cases of shelf-stable items, due October 19, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato bid S2910000017145 (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026). No solicitations specifically request organic dandelion green purees, and most opportunities target commodity staples rather than specialty or organic produce.
