UNSPSC 50496860: Organic tepeguaje purees

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

UNSPSC 50496860 Organic tepeguaje purees, a Commodity code, shows no activity aligned with its nominal scope in recent state and local procurement. The code's abstract product definition—organic purees from the tepeguaje legume—does not match the solicitations tagged under it. Instead, the recent opportunities under this code are routine grocery and food supply contracts for school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities, spanning canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria staples, and comprehensive food service procurement supporting institutional meal programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), alongside state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems. This code appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a viable procurement category for tepeguaje purees specifically.

The geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with Georgia hosting the largest cluster of school district solicitations, followed by Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs procurement for 30 cooperative districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated annual value $5.5 million across both areas). The code's actual use in state and local procurement does not support pursuing opportunities specifically labeled as organic tepeguaje purees.
