UNSPSC 50386401: Foothill pommegranate purees

The variety of pommegranates known as foothill pommegranates which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386401 Foothill pomegranate purees, a Commodity code, shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's designation describes a specialized fruit puree product, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification soliciting between February and July 2026 involve broad food supply contracts for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, canned pears, eggs, grocery staples, and institutional food service across prisons, schools, state hospitals, and supported living centers—none of which match pomegranate purees specifically. Oregon Department of Corrections (Oregon ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) requested canned applesauce; Austin Independent School District (Texas RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026) sought dried fruit bars and apple crisps; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) bid fresh produce spanning apples, berries, and vegetables; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) procured food and consumable products for state supported living centers. The code exhibits no recent activity aligned with pomegranate purees or other specialized fruit purees.

State and local issuing bodies using this code include county boards of education, city boards of education, state agencies (corrections, health and human services), school districts, and special-purpose districts across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Recent opportunities cluster heavily in school nutrition procurement (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia) and institutional food service for corrections and health systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Dallas Independent School District). Because the code's nominal scope—foothill pomegranate purees—bears no relation to any of the posted solicitations, the code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling issue rather than an active procurement category. Firms focused on pomegranate puree supply should not rely on this code for market intelligence; the recent opportunities reflect general food commodity procurement where pomegranate products do not appear as specified line items.
