UNSPSC 50496865: Organic water spinach purees

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

UNSPSC 50496865 Organic water spinach purees is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect purchases of organic water spinach purees. Instead, the code appears in the procurement database alongside much broader food solicitations—institutional food service contracts, school nutrition programs, and correctional facility cafeteria supplies—where organic water spinach purees, if procured at all, would be one line item among hundreds. State and local governments buying under this code or tagged with it are primarily institutional food buyers: state health and human services departments operating state hospitals and supported living centers, county school nutrition programs, county departments of community services, state departments of corrections, and county sheriff offices managing inmate feeding. The work actually being solicited under the code encompasses shelf-stable groceries, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy products, condiments, canned goods, and food service supplies—not specialized produce items in isolation. Issuing bodies span state health agencies in Texas and Illinois, county school districts in Georgia, Oregon's Department of Corrections, and various state-level procurement offices procuring on behalf of multiple institutions.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. In Texas, the Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals, with bids due October 23, 2026 (HHS0018082, consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center) and amounts reaching $1.5 million annually under prior contracts. In Georgia, Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229), and Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each sought comprehensive food bids for the 2026–2027 school year with bids due June 15, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (S2910000017145), pricing at $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 purchase. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas via IFB 304T-26-300CF with a response date extended to May 4, 2026 (IFB 304T26300CF). The code shows no recent activity specific to organic water spinach purees as a standalone product line; the mismatch suggests this Commodity code may be a data tagging error or applies only when organic water spinach purees are purchased as part of a larger institutional food contract.
