UNSPSC 50383305 Gundila date purees, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable fruit products and prepared food items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh and processed fruits, and broader food-service commodity baskets that include fruit products alongside proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable staples. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, city boards of education, county nutrition departments, and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Vendors respond to informal quotes (IWQ), invitations to bid (ITB and IFB), and requests for proposals (RFP) with response cycles typically two to four weeks. The procurement emphasizes compliance with USDA commodity and grading standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, delivery to multiple institutional sites on FOB-destination terms with firm fixed pricing, and vendor certifications including insurance, references, and product-safety documentation such as HACCP plans and recall procedures.
