UNSPSC 50383704: Marsh grapefruit purees

The variety of grapefruit known as marsh grapefruit which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383704 Marsh grapefruit purees is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under it bear little connection to that specific product. Instead, state and local procurement bodies are using this code to solicit a broad spectrum of food and consumable products for institutional food service — including canned applesauce, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, baked goods, frozen entrees, condiments, and miscellaneous shelf-stable items. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller's office on behalf of TDCJ, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county and municipal governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, City of Bridgeport), state supported living centers, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education). No single buyer dominates the recent activity; rather, institutional food service procurement — driven by cafeteria operations, senior services, detention facilities, and state-supported residential care — generates steady demand across multiple types of issuing bodies and facilities.

Geographic concentration appears in the South and West, with notable recent activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (state veterans homes), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and scattered Northeastern jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta under IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, with an informal written quote due October 19, 2026; Austin Independent School District requesting dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service under RFP 27RFP004 with proposals due July 16, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453, with bids due July 31, 2026 and historical pricing near $21.84 per case; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting supplemental food and consumables to serve state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792V2, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear frequently; Oregon and the City of Bridgeport apply state-level vendor preferences in addition to federal compliance mandates.
