UNSPSC 50496821: Organic dandelion purees

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

UNSPSC 50496821 Organic dandelion purees is a Commodity code representing a highly specialized food product with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities data shows no solicitations specifically seeking organic dandelion purees; the code appears misaligned with the actual purchasing activity in the source block, which encompasses broad-based food procurement for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, and state health and human services institutions. State and local governments are actively soliciting canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, proteins, prepared entrees, and general grocery supplies in volumes of hundreds to thousands of line items per solicitation, but organic dandelion purees do not appear in any of the representative recent opportunities. The issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois, Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Fairfax County, Douglas County), and correctional and health facilities across multiple states. The geographic spread spans Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri with the densest recent activity in school nutrition procurement across Georgia and Texas.

No recent state and local solicitations document procurement of organic dandelion purees under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local buying patterns suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this commodity code sees no current demand from public sector buyers. Representatives of the broader food procurement activity visible in the recent block include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state supported living centers (due July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products including fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and supplies (due June 15, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026). Pursuit of this specific commodity code warrants monitoring for future activity, as current evidence does not support active demand.
