UNSPSC 50387530: Roselle purees

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

UNSPSC 50387530 Roselle purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, senior services, and veterans' homes — but the nine posted solicitations span canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, mixed commodity food items, and broad food-service procurement, with no mention of roselle purees specifically. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county commissioners, school districts, and city boards of education, posting opportunities primarily through IFB, RFP, and informal quote methods. The code appears misaligned with actual purchasing activity, and vendors pursuing opportunities tagged under this UNSPSC should verify the specific line items and product specifications in each solicitation rather than assume consistency with the commodity name.

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentration in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026, due June 2, and July 2026, due July 31), with historical pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case; Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an informal quote for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted two weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (August 2026, due August 24); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (March 2026, closed) and another for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (June 2026, due July 13); Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (June 2026, due June 26); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted an IFB for commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (June 2026, due June 26); Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (June 2026, due July 16); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (May 2026, extended to May 4).
