UNSPSC 50382116: Palillo banana purees

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

UNSPSC 50382116 Palillo banana purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement with no opportunities directly matching the code's nominal scope. The fourteen recent solicitations tagged under or near this code predominantly procure general grocery and food service products—canned fruit, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—for school districts, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies rather than banana purees or related specialty fruit preparations. The mismatch suggests either imprecise tagging in procurement systems or that banana purees fall within broader commodity categories that jurisdictions use for miscellaneous food sourcing rather than as a standalone line item. School districts and state agencies purchasing food for child nutrition, inmate feeding, and facility operations represent the primary issuing bodies, with notable repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), alongside Oregon Department of Corrections, Dallas Independent School District, and multiple other county and city education agencies.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in the Southeast and Texas, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD, Austin ISD), Missouri (Rockwood), and Connecticut (Bridgeport), alongside activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District seeking dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and the Texas HHSC procuring supplemental food and consumables including fresh and processed fruits statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026 with $1.5 million prior-period guidance). If pursuing this code, verify with issuing bodies whether banana purees are bid as individual line items or bundled into broader grocery or commodity categories; the recent opportunity stream provides no clear entry point for a dedicated banana puree supplier without prior established relationships with these buyers' food service systems.
