UNSPSC 50496854: Organic spoonwart purees

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

UNSPSC 50496854 Organic spoonwart purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover general food procurement by schools, corrections departments, and state health agencies—fresh produce, canned tomatoes, dairy, proteins, bakery items, and prepared foods for institutional meal service—rather than the specialized organic puree product the code nominally describes. State and local buyers are sourcing broad-category groceries and food supplies for child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers, not narrowly defined puree products.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and specialized state facilities (HHSC state supported living centers and hospitals). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior historical spend of $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026 with quarterly escalation provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service pricing). Contracts typically run annual cycles (July through June in school settings) with firm fixed pricing, delivery within 24 to 30 days, and renewal options spanning two to four additional years. Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, and state preference programs (Oregon's five percent preference for in-state processors and bidders) are common. The code shows no mismatch signal warranting skip; instead, it signals routine institutional food supply activity with no shortage of volume or frequency.
