UNSPSC 50496835: Organic kudzu purees

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

UNSPSC 50496835 Organic kudzu purees, a Commodity code, shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specialized plant-based puree product—does not align with the actual work captured in recent opportunities tagged to this code. Solicitations posted under UNSPSC 50496835 predominantly address broad food service provisioning: weekly food orders for state facilities, cafeteria food products for correctional systems, school nutrition procurement, produce and eggs, canned goods, and fresh produce delivery. These opportunities reflect routine food-service supply chains, not the acquisition of organic kudzu purees or similar specialty botanical products. The mismatch between the code's name and the substance of recent solicitations suggests either miscoding in source systems or use of this code as a catch-all for food commodity buys that do not fit narrower categories.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing these food-service opportunities span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, State of Georgia), and a county corrections system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across four schools (due June 15, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with estimated annual spend of $9 million, and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). School districts dominate the buying activity, with multi-year contracts, firm fixed pricing requirements, delivery frequency specifications (often weekly), and evaluation primarily on lowest responsive and responsible bid.
