UNSPSC 50496864: Organic water chestnut purees

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

UNSPSC 50496864 Organic water chestnut purees, a Commodity code, shows negligible recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers specialty prepared produce items, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic water chestnut purees or close equivalents. Instead, the most recently posted opportunities under or near this code span broad institutional food procurement — state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services — where bidders compete for shelf-stable proteins, frozen entrees, canned vegetables, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies in volume quantities. These solicitations do not isolate organic water chestnut purees as a line item or product category.

The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County), and county correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured through the Texas Comptroller). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with sparse activity elsewhere. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026). None of these solicitations names organic water chestnut purees as a requirement or permitted substitute. The code appears inactive for state and local procurement purposes; pursue other commodity codes aligned with the actual institutional food categories these jurisdictions are actively sourcing.
