UNSPSC 50496822: Organic dasheen purees

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

UNSPSC 50496822 Organic dasheen purees, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains 24 recent opportunities spanning February 2026 through June 2026, none of which reference dasheen purees or similar root vegetable products. Instead, the opportunities cluster heavily around general grocery procurement, fresh produce and eggs, canned goods, and food service for school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products for state supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, and 393), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes and tomato paste bids, and multiple school district food procurements from Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, and Rockwood R-VI School District—all seeking hundreds of commodity line items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen goods, fresh produce, and supplies rather than specialized puree products.

Issuing bodies in the recorded opportunities span state procurement offices (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county school systems and school nutrition programs (at least eight distinct districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia), and independent school districts. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. The code shows no recent relevant procurement activity; the mismatch between the nominal commodity (organic dasheen purees) and the actual scope of posted opportunities (mainstream grocery and food service supply) suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that dasheen purees fall outside the regular purchasing patterns of state and local institutions, making pursuit under this code inadvisable absent direct visibility into an issuing body's specifications.
