UNSPSC 50496827: Organic gai choy purees

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

UNSPSC 50496827 Organic gai choy purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of organic gai choy purees or any specialty Asian vegetable products. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code document procurement of mainstream food service items — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and consumables for corrections facilities, state health and human services centers, school nutrition programs, and veterans homes across multiple states. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that organic gai choy purees represent a minor or non-existent line item within much larger food service contracts.

State and local issuing bodies actively soliciting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Burke County, and Ben Hill County school systems in Georgia and Missouri), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and county school nutrition programs across the Southeast and Midwest. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, posting supplemental food and consumables solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers in February and May 2026. Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 (due April 6, 2026) for canned tomatoes; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for master grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts through a cooperative purchasing vehicle with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one geographic area. The code shows no relevant recent activity matching its stated commodity definition.
