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

UNSPSC 50496854 Organic spoonwart purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce product, but the state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurements of organic spoonwart purees specifically. Instead, the code captures a broad spectrum of food service and institutional food procurement activity, including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and food service consumables and supplies. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, county governments, and school districts. The scope of work reflects routine institutional food supply for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state agency operations, with vendors expected to meet USDA grades, FDA compliance, delivery-within-days timelines, and food safety standards including HACCP plans where applicable.
