UNSPSC 50386103: Hilo pineapple purees

The variety of pineapples known as hilo pineapple which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386103 Hilo pineapple purees, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable fruit preparations and food service items that state and local governments purchase for institutional dining, senior services, and nutrition programs. The recent opportunities under this code reflect a much broader scope of food procurement than the nominal category name suggests: state and local bodies are soliciting general food commodities including canned fruits, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and beverages for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, senior services centers, and other institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia, and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), county boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), independent school districts (Austin ISD), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialized state agencies (Oregon DOC). Illinois emerges as a repeat buyer with multiple quarterly food procurement cycles for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, and Oregon Department of Corrections has posted successive applesauce ITBs in recent months.

Activity concentrates in the South and West, with Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ via Comptroller), Oregon (ODOC), and Illinois (state procurement office) representing the bulk of recent solicitations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables, due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted two quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy—one brand-specific and one brand-or-equal—both due August 24, 2026, for weekly ordering from September through December 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 5% combined preference for Oregon goods and resident bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2) with a maximum three-year value of $4,500,000 to serve state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, and the Texas Comptroller issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products serving TDCJ facilities across five geographic regions with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026.
