UNSPSC 50387528: Rambutan purees

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

UNSPSC 50387528 Rambutan purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect rambutan procurement. Instead, the code captures a broader food-service buying pattern centered on shelf-stable and fresh produce for institutional nutrition programs — school districts, county social services, state correctional and health facilities, and specialized care centers procure canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and mixed food staples for cafeterias, senior services, and in-facility dining. The work involves competitive bidding for firm fixed pricing on bulk food delivery, typically FOB destination with delivery windows measured in days to weeks. Issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County, Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Austin ISD), municipal procurement offices (Bridgeport), and specialized state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Repeat buyers include the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy appears in multiple quarterly solicitations) and Texas HHS entities.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, with bids due June 2 and July 31 respectively), citing historical pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case and offering a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for school year 2027 under IFB #SN002-2027, with bids due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items and requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple quarterly food-service solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, with response dates in June and August 2026. Texas HHS and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice each issued comprehensive food-service procurements covering 210 and 382 line items respectively, with response deadlines in March and May 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut procured 115 line items of commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with bids due June 26, 2026, and MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance.
