UNSPSC 50387526: Prickly pear purees

The variety of fruit known as prickly pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387526 Prickly pear purees is a Commodity code that covers state and local government procurement of processed fruit products, though recent opportunities in the database show minimal direct demand for prickly pear purees specifically. Instead, state and local buyers are actively purchasing canned and processed fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, canned fruit, and fresh produce—through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and facility food services. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts large and small (from independent urban districts to regional cooperative purchasing groups), and county boards of education. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, and multiple Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Muscogee County) appear as repeat buyers in the recent opportunities block, indicating sustained institutional demand for fruit and produce products across school nutrition, institutional food service, and corrections contexts.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest. Georgia school districts dominate the opportunities list with multiple solicitations for fresh produce, processed fruits, and grocery items from February through June 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce in February and May 2026 (S2910000016975 due March 6, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026), with historical pricing at approximately $21.83 per case and estimated volumes of 1,900 to 4,760 cases per award. Texas procurements include Dallas ISD's RFP for specialty food products (JC250079, due April 2, 2026), Texas HHSC's statewide supplemental food solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, with estimated annual values of $1.5 million to $4.5 million), and school district food service RFPs. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System in Georgia solicited fresh produce and eggs through a multi-district cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $5.5 million across 30 districts). All recent solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing for contract periods, and delivery to central distribution points or individual school sites.
