UNSPSC 50385708: Sweet granadilla passion fruit purees

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

UNSPSC 50385708 Sweet granadilla passion fruit purees is a Commodity code representing single-product fruit purees and processed fruit preparations that state and local governments acquire for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code show a pronounced mismatch: the code nominally addresses specialty tropical fruit purees, yet the actual solicitations capture a far broader range of commodity foods—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, and bulk grocery items for school districts, state corrections departments, and health and human services agencies. The opportunities indicate that issuing bodies tag food-service procurement more broadly under fruit and produce codes, and state and local purchasing offices appear to use this commodity code as a catchall for fruit products and related food items rather than for narrow tropical-puree procurement alone.

State and local demand for products under this code is concentrated among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and state-operated facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Connecticut, with school nutrition procurement representing the most frequent issuing-body type. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, FOB destination, due July 31, 2026) offering a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items across bread, dairy, frozen foods, and gluten-free items; maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years; extended due date February 23, 2026); the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (minimum 76 items from school delivery section, 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts via GEC Buying Cooperative (approximately $4.4 million annual spending for Area One, due March 4, 2026). Buy American provisions are standard across school-district procurement; most solicitations require firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity and nutritional standards. This code shows active and substantial state and local procurement activity, but pursue opportunities based on the actual scope of the individual solicitation rather than the code's stated commodity name.
