UNSPSC 50386403: Jolly red pommegranate purees

The variety of pommegranates known as jolly red pommegranates which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386403 Jolly red pomegranate purees (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers pomegranate purees, but recent opportunities tagged under this code procure applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad grocery and food service supplies across institutional food programs — none of which are pomegranate purees or closely related specialty fruit products. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a code that has drifted significantly from its intended use in state and local procurement systems.

School districts, state institutional facilities (corrections, health and human services), and independent school districts drive the bulk of recent activity under codes adjacent to or potentially mislabeled under 50386403. Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted solicitations for food and consumables in the past six months. Georgia school districts appear most active, with multiple districts (Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) posting fresh produce and grocery bids on overlapping timelines. Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Procurement spans fresh and frozen produce, canned goods, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared entrees. Buy American requirements and USDA commodity compliance appear standard across school district and state institutional solicitations. The code warrants verification against actual commodity classifications; current tagging does not reliably signal relevant opportunities for fruit puree suppliers.
