UNSPSC 50387520: Mangosteen purees

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

UNSPSC 50387520 Mangosteen purees is a Commodity code that in practice sees little alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities associated with this code span canned and fresh fruit products, applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce across multiple categories, eggs, and general food service commodities — none of which are mangosteen purees. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this taxonomy include school districts, corrections agencies, health and human services departments, and state-level procurement offices across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 (response due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities extends across the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), South (Texas, Georgia, Florida), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), and Northeast (Connecticut), indicating broad regional demand for fruit and produce procurement across school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state agency operations. Activity concentrates in school districts conducting annual or multi-year buys on fresh and processed fruit items, with significant contract values ranging from under $100,000 for smaller districts to $4.4 million for cooperative purchasing arrangements serving multiple districts. Issuing bodies consistently apply Buy American requirements, USDA commodity specifications, firm fixed pricing for contract periods, and insurance and compliance certifications. The mismatch between the code name (mangosteen purees) and the actual procurement activity (primarily generic fresh, canned, and processed fruit products) suggests the code may be overcast or misapplied by state and local procurement systems; no recent opportunities specifically name mangosteen or mangosteen-based products.
