UNSPSC 50496840: Organic lotus root purees

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

UNSPSC 50496840 Organic lotus root purees is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent relevant opportunities—the code does not appear in the posted solicitations for state and local governments during the period covered. The most recent opportunities tagged in the search results are for general institutional food procurement (prepared foods, canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, and food service supplies) issued by state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, county school districts, and county social services offices, but none specifically solicits organic lotus root purees or comparable specialized vegetable products. The gap between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying patterns in the source material suggests limited demand for this particular commodity through state and local procurement channels.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with smaller activity in Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). None of these solicitations names organic lotus root purees among their line items or requirements, indicating that pursuit under this code would require identifying specialized institutional or foodservice buyers operating outside the mainstream state and local procurement channels tracked in this dataset.
