UNSPSC 50386350: Mariposa plum purees

The variety of plums known as mariposa plums which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386350 Mariposa plum purees (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The most recent opportunities tagged with this code solicited canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service commodities for institutional feeding programs—none of which are mariposa plum purees. School districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and municipal boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with procurement activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois.

The actual work state and local governments buy under codes in this product family consists of food products for institutional food service: canned and fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and related supplies delivered to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and other public institutions. Recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections procuring canned applesauce via ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) at a historical price of $21.84 per case for 4,760 cases; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumable products via IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting grocery products via IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and Douglas County School System in Georgia procuring food supply and distribution via RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual spend of approximately $9 million across 32 schools. Set-asides and preferences vary: Oregon applies combined 5% preferences for domestically processed goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; Texas and Georgia invoke Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic content in processed products; and Texas school districts encourage minority and women-owned business participation. The code shows active procurement volume but material mismatch with its nominal scope—vendors pursuing this family should monitor school nutrition, institutional food service, and corrections procurement channels rather than rely on the mariposa plum puree designation.
