UNSPSC 50387000: Sapote purees

The type of fruit known as sapotes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387000 Sapote purees is a Class code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity directly aligned with sapote purees procurement. Instead, the tagged solicitations span a much broader range of food commodity purchasing — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, bread, frozen entrees, condiments, and staple grocery items for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, senior services, and state health institutions. The code's nominal scope does not match the actual buying pattern in the source records. State and local governments are soliciting these items through Invitations for Bid (IFB), Requests for Proposals (RFP), and informal quote requests (IWQ), typically awarding to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a firm fixed-price basis with FOB Destination delivery terms. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county government nutrition and senior services departments (Gwinnett County, City of Bridgeport), and state-level procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple institutions.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with the most recent opportunities concentrated in Texas (TDCJ, HHSC facilities), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, state facilities), and Oregon (ODOC). Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (shelf life, canned proteins, vegetables, grains) due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic regions, encompassing 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, and condiments; and the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid for 115 line items serving the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and Buy American requirements mandating at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit sapote purees.
