UNSPSC 50387524: Pepino purees

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

UNSPSC 50387524 Pepino purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with actual state and local purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve pepino purees; instead, they reflect a broad range of food service procurement for public institutions — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and supported living centers — that spans canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited suggests either miscoding in source systems or that pepino purees represent a negligible line item within larger food service contracts. State and local buyers in this activity cluster include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Education), and county-level operations (Texas TDCJ via Statewide Procurement Division). The issuing bodies predominantly reflect K-12 nutrition procurement, with secondary activity in adult corrections and state residential facilities.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million (due June 17, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 with a July 1, 2026 contract start and four optional renewal periods. Because pepino purees do not appear as a distinct procurement line item in any of these solicitations, pursuit under this specific code would require confirmation that the commodity is requested as a component of larger food service awards rather than as a standalone item.
