UNSPSC 50386109: Sugarloaf pineapple purees

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

UNSPSC 50386109 Sugarloaf pineapple purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this classification among state and local issuers. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span fresh produce, canned fruit, dried fruit products, and broad-category food and consumables sourcing for institutional food service — schools, senior services, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, veterans homes, and other public institutions. The actual buying pattern shows state and local governments purchasing shelf-stable and fresh food items in bulk for cafeteria operations, nutrition programs, and facility feeding — a scope far wider than the specific pineapple puree product the code nominates. Issuing bodies range across school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners for senior services), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Georgia), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport), with recurring activity from Texas state health and corrections agencies and multiple school nutrition programs. The code shows little evidence of single-commodity, pineapple-puree-specific procurement; instead, issuers bundle food product buys into broader requests for produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Hancock County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Georgia (Gwinnett County, State Department), with representation from Connecticut and the Northeast. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, historical award $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales), the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Schools IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum 2). Solicitations use RFP, IFB, ITB, and informal quote methods. Most procurements impose Buy American or domestic-content thresholds, require FOB Destination delivery with prepaid freight, and evaluate on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value; few name specific set-asides, though some include Oregon resident and MBE/CBE preferences. The code does not currently reflect active single-product pineapple-puree sourcing at the state or local level.
