UNSPSC 50496842: Organic mallow purees

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

UNSPSC 50496842 Organic mallow purees, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement activity focused on food supply for institutional meal service operations, though the recent opportunities record shows no solicitations specifically for mallow purees. Instead, the code has been applied to broader food procurement—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and veterans' homes—where weekly and quarterly food orders encompass dozens to hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and consumables. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, and Ben Hill County in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), and, less frequently, county school systems and special-purpose nutrition programs. School districts represent the dominant buyer segment in recent activity, with state corrections and health-services agencies forming a secondary but steady presence.

Recent opportunities span the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, with heavy concentration in Georgia school districts (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Ben Hill County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (State Veterans Home). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior year), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026, covering delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items procurement (due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB 304T26300CF (extended deadline May 4, 2026, supplying six TDCJ distribution points statewide). All are firm-fixed-price or cost-plus-index contracts with annual or multi-year terms; evaluation favors lowest responsive bidding combined with vendor qualifications and past performance. The code shows no standout incumbent vendors across the opportunities listed, and no specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations, though several require Buy American certification and HACCP compliance.
