UNSPSC 50387504: Baoba purees

The variety of fruit known as baobab which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387504 Baoba purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent opportunities posted under this code. The code nominally covers baoba fruit purees, a specialized tropical product; however, the recent solicitations instead reflect broad food service procurement spanning canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed grocery items for correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state institutions. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual buying patterns suggests either a classification error in how opportunities have been tagged or a code that no longer reflects current procurement usage.

The issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and regional consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative). State-level activity is concentrated in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with additional opportunities in Colorado and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple varieties due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state supported living centers due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. School nutrition contracts predominate and typically run July through June with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses. If your firm pursues food service supply to state and local institutions, this code's current tagging is unreliable for opportunity discovery; monitor state procurement portals directly.
