UNSPSC 50386505: Pink pomelo purees

The variety of pomelos known as pink pomelo which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386505 Pink pomelo purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not center on pomelo products. Instead, state and local governments are soliciting generalized food and consumable products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and shelf-stable pantry items—for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county school districts and boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). No single buyer dominates the recent opportunities, though the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office and Texas Health and Human Services Commission each posted multiple related solicitations for quarterly and ongoing food supply. The procurements use RFQ, RFP, IFB, and ITB notice types, reflecting both informal requests and formal sealed-bid competitions.

Geographic activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Midwest (Illinois, Ohio), Southwest (Texas, Arizona), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington), with Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon showing multiple recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026, under IWQ 140229; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem, Oregon, quoted at the historical rate of $21.84 per case, ITB S-29100-00017453 with bids due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service due July 16, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical monetary value of $1.5 million for the prior contract year and proposals due July 13, 2026. Activity shows steady demand for bulk food procurement tied to institutional food service operations and recurring quarterly or annual contract cycles, with Buy American provisions and prevailing wage compliance common across jurisdictions.
