UNSPSC 50382108: Lacatan banana purees

The variety of bananas known as lacatan bananas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382108 Lacatan banana purees is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for banana purees or banana-based products; instead, the tagged opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, berries, carrots, potatoes, citrus, leafy greens, eggs), spices, ice cream, supplemental food and consumables for state facilities, and general grocery procurement for school districts and state agencies. The code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being bought under these recent solicitations, which focus on broader fresh and processed fruit categories, prepared foods, and multi-category commodity supply rather than banana puree specifically.

State and local procurement activity under codes in this family centers on school nutrition programs, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and state purchasing offices. Issuers include independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal bodies (City of Bridgeport). Recent solicitations use RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notice types with response dates ranging from mid-June through late July 2026, and geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with four optional renewals).
