UNSPSC 50387303: Thai lessard sugar apple purees

The variety of sugar apples known as thai lessard sugar apple which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387303 Thai lessard sugar apple purees is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement covers processed fruit products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and related food service commodities — rather than the specific product the code nominally names. State and local purchasing offices, school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies source these items for food service operations serving student populations, incarcerated individuals, and residents of state-supported facilities. The scope extends to broad grocery and produce procurement that encompasses the nominal product category alongside complementary items needed for institutional meal programs. School districts dominate the recent solicitation activity, with multiple districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and others) issuing RFPs and ITBs for annual food service contracts. Correction and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) also solicit regularly under related codes. Buy American provisions and compliance with USDA commodity specifications appear standard across school nutrition procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts post frequently) and Texas (multiple state agencies and school districts), with material recent activity also in Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preferences totaling 10 percent; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office quarterly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52820) with brand-specific requirements due June 17, 2026. School nutrition procurement typically runs on annual or multi-year contracts (fiscal July to June) with firm pricing and renewal options; most solicitations require delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses, compliance with Buy American and nutritional standards, and insurance minimums of $1 million general liability. Demand from school districts for fresh produce and commodity food items remains active and ongoing.
