UNSPSC 50496855: Organic taro purees

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

UNSPSC 50496855 Organic taro purees is a Commodity code, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little relevant activity directly aligned with this specific product line. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span general consumable food procurement for state and local institutions — including state supported living centers, county senior services, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state hospitals — but the specific line items reflect broad categories of shelf-stable and prepared foods (canned proteins, vegetables, condiments, frozen entrees, dairy products, grains, and prepared sides) rather than specialty pureed or organic taro products. The scope of work under the tagged code encompasses food service supply chain management for institutional foodservice operations, including procurement of ingredients, prepared foods, and consumable supplies; delivery and inventory management with tight lead times (typically within 7 days of order); compliance with USDA grading standards and FDA labeling requirements; and vendor qualification through references, liability insurance, and regulatory certifications including E-Verify, debarment verification, and HACCP plan compliance.

Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas), state departments of corrections (Oregon), county boards of commissioners (Georgia), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-level procurement divisions. The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon in recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB 304T26300CF (due May 4, 2026). No recent solicitations specifically name organic taro purees or pureed taro products as line items; the code's current activity does not reflect material procurement demand for this commodity.
