UNSPSC 50387406: Red delight tamarillo purees

The variety of tamarillo known as red delight tamarillo which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387406 Red delight tamarillo purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code show no tamarillo purees; instead, they procure canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service supplies for correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals. The code's nominal commodity scope and the actual procurement activity diverge sharply, suggesting either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has become a catch-all for fruit and produce procurement that does not match its specific product definition.

Issuing bodies across the dataset include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, multiple Georgia county boards of education), county school systems (Douglas County School System, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham), and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple districts). School districts dominate the recent activity, with repeat solicitation patterns in Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, HHSC facilities), and multi-district cooperative buys. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (estimated historical value $1.5 million, proposals due July 13, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 25,500 students across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (sealed proposals due February 18, 2026).

Geographic concentration spans the Southeast (Georgia school districts are the single largest cluster with five distinct counties active in early 2026), Texas (state agencies and school districts), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The code shows material recent activity but with pervasive coding misalignment—the UNSPSC descriptor "red delight tamarillo purees" does not characterize any of the solicitations. If this code is intended to cover processed-fruit products broadly, the description requires updating; if it is meant to remain narrowly product-specific, these opportunities belong elsewhere in the taxonomy. The procurement volume and jurisdictional spread are real and substantial, but business development professionals should verify the actual commodity codes before pursuing opportunities, as the nominal code definition will not guide specification matching or competitive analysis effectively.
