UNSPSC 50385701: Banana passion fruit purees

The variety of passion fruit known as banana passion fruit which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385701 Banana passion fruit purees (Commodity) names a specialized fruit product category, but state and local governments are not currently procuring banana passion fruit purees under this code. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce staples (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, potatoes), eggs, and broader food supply contracts serving correctional facilities, state health agencies, and school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought reflects a common tagging inconsistency in state and local procurement systems—the code appears to be applied at the Family or Class level to catch commodity food procurements more broadly rather than reserved for banana passion fruit specifically. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts and boards of education (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Hancock County, Douglas County), and city purchasing offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts dominate the activity, with multiple concurrent solicitations across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Oregon.

The representative work stream consists of competitive food-supply contracts for institutional meal service. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) seeking approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, with a five percent combined state-of-origin and resident-bidder preference under OregonBuys. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 (originally February 16, 2026, extended to February 23, 2026) for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for main-line food supply and distribution to serve approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Smaller school districts—Hancock County (Georgia), Liberty County (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI (Missouri)—solicit fresh produce, grocery items, and dairy through IFBs and RFPs with response dates between April and July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut, with secondary activity across the broader Southeast and Great Plains states supporting school meal programs. Most opportunities specify firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, Buy American compliance where federal child nutrition funds apply, and insurance minimums ranging from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 general liability.
