UNSPSC 50496829: Organic galang purees

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

UNSPSC 50496829 Organic galang purees (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as food products supplied to state institutions, correctional facilities, and school districts, though recent solicitations show no direct purchases of galang purees specifically. Instead, the code sits within a broader family of shelf-stable and fresh food procurement tied to institutional food service operations. State and local issuers soliciting under related food commodity codes—including Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts, and other corrections and human services agencies—are buying consumable food products ranging from fresh produce and proteins to prepared foods, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies for cafeterias, canteens, warehouses, and food distribution centers. These issuing bodies represent state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose nutrition programs. The scope of work typically includes compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA food safety requirements, minimum shelf-life warranties (often 90 days or more), delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, and FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case in the prior purchase), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (response due October 19, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive food bid spanning nearly 400 line items for five schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026). The code shows no recent dedicated solicitations for galang purees; the UNSPSC designation appears to be a cataloging artifact rather than a reflective marker of current procurement patterns under this commodity code.
