UNSPSC 50384100: Guava purees

The type of fruit known as guavas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384100 Guava purees, a Class code, encompasses fresh and processed fruit products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and county senior services. Recent solicitations under this code reveal a broader scope than the nominal category name suggests: state and local buyers are procuring shelf-stable canned and processed fruits (applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps), fresh produce across multiple varieties, frozen fruit products, and supplemental food items for facility-based meal service. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and commissioners, city school districts, and standalone municipal procurement offices. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, and Georgia and Texas state purchasing offices appear repeatedly in recent postings, signaling sustained demand from corrections, health services, and education sectors.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with sporadic postings in other states. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period (due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouses across five geographic areas (extended to May 4, 2026). Pricing is typically firm fixed for the contract period with unit-based evaluation, and most solicitations require FOB destination delivery with prepaid transportation, USDA compliance, and commercial liability insurance. Buy American provisions and state-goods preferences (Oregon's 5 percent preference for in-state fabrication and processing, Texas's no explicit set-aside but agency discretion on value) shape responsiveness requirements.
