UNSPSC 50387525: Plantain purees

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

UNSPSC 50387525 Plantain purees, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to its nominal scope. The one opportunity explicitly matching the code—Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items posted October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026—included plantain purees among 35 line items of mixed food products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) rather than plantain purees as a standalone procurement. Most recent activity tagged to this code actually covers broader food-service categories: applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, mixed commodities, and supplemental food and consumables across prisons, state hospitals, school districts, and senior services. The issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county systems (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), city nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport), and state institutional food services (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy).

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and Arizona, with no state appearing as a standout repeat buyer for plantain purees specifically. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for mixed shelf-stable foods (response due October 19), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-or-equal and brand-specific specifications (proposals due August 24), the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31 with 5% Oregon preferences applied), and Austin Independent School District's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16). The code appears misaligned with current procurement practice; plantain purees do not feature prominently in institutional food service specs documented here, and buyers seeking them may use broader commodity or processed-fruit codes instead.
