UNSPSC 50387400: Tamarillo purees

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

UNSPSC 50387400 Tamarillo purees, a Class code, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and broad food-service supplies rather than tamarillo-based products. Oregon Department of Corrections procured canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 with bids due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 with proposals due July 16, 2026. State and local agencies issuing under this code include departments of corrections, school districts, health and human services commissions, and school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. The actual buying patterns reflect institutional food-service procurement for detention facilities, schools, and state health facilities rather than specialized fruit purees.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Texas school districts (Dallas, Austin), and Oregon Department of Corrections appearing as repeat buyers. Broader scope food-service bids show significant contract values—Douglas County Schools' food-supply RFP estimated $9 million annually, and HHSC's supplemental food procurement carried a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years—yet the code itself appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy tag for general produce and prepared foods rather than a specific product line. Tamarillo purees do not appear in any of the representative recent solicitations. If pursuing activity under this code, vendors should expect to bid on standard institutional food-service items including fresh and frozen produce, canned fruits, eggs, proteins, and consumable supplies with firm fixed pricing, delivery requirements to multiple sites, Buy American compliance where applicable, and evaluation weighted toward lowest responsive bid or best value.
