UNSPSC 50496834: Organic jicama purees

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

UNSPSC 50496834 Organic jicama purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with this specific product line. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—the State of Illinois quarterly food order (Solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, RFQ, due June 26, 2026)—appears to be a general weekly food procurement for the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy that encompasses 24 line items across proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and specialty items rather than organic jicama purees specifically. The broader food procurement landscape across state and local government reflects demand for fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees through school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and residential care centers, but the code's nominal scope diverges sharply from what is actually being solicited.

State and local food procurement is dominated by school districts and state health and human services agencies across the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Missouri), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), and Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement for food and consumable products for state supported living centers (Solicitation HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026, with prior historical value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (Solicitation S2910000016405, ITB, due April 6, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases), and school district food bids such as Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food procurement (Solicitation PE61000NONST2027000000006, IFB, due June 15, 2026) and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (Solicitation 2000004323, IFB, due April 27, 2026). These procurements typically award to lowest responsive, responsible bidders on firm fixed pricing structures with delivery to schools, institutional facilities, or central distribution centers. The code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors pursuing this commodity should verify current demand before investing in pursuit strategy.
