UNSPSC 50382118: Isla banana purees

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

UNSPSC 50382118 Isla banana purees is a Commodity code that spans state and local procurement of fruit-based food products, though the recent solicitation activity shows little direct alignment with the code's specific naming—the opportunities tagged under this code feature canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and general grocery and food service procurement rather than banana purees. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs and correctional institutions represent the dominant buyer segment; the code shows substantial activity across food service procurement more broadly rather than concentrated demand for the specific commodity named.

Recent opportunities span multiple states. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, with bids due July 31, 2026, to procure 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce under USDA commodity specifications, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a combined 10% state preference for Oregon-fabricated or headquartered vendors. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 (updated as HHS0016792V2) covering 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia issued multiple RFPs and IFBs for grocery items and fresh produce during March through July 2026, with response dates ranging from April 2 through July 31, 2026. The code shows material recent activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (banana purees) and the actual procurement activity (general fruit products, vegetables, grocery staples, and institutional food service) signals either a classification error in the source data or a code that carries broader food-procurement application than its name implies; business development professionals should verify the precise commodity scope with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities.
