UNSPSC 50387539: Lucuma purees

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

UNSPSC 50387539 Lucuma purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments actually buy under this code. Recent solicitations tagged with this code consistently solicit canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad grocery and food service products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health agencies—none of which are lucuma purees. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual procurement activity recorded in state and local opportunities. No recent solicitation explicitly names or requests lucuma purees, a fruit puree product that does not appear in any of the representative recent opportunities examined.

The actual activity logged under this code reflects food and consumable procurement for institutional food service across multiple jurisdictions, primarily school districts, state correctional departments, state health and human services agencies, and municipal education systems. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple recent procurements from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas); state-level agencies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice; and municipal buyers include the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products to 45 schools (due April 27, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts totaling $5.5 million estimated annual value (due March 4, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical volume of $1.5 million annually (due July 13, 2026). The code as currently classified appears unsuitable for targeting lucuma-puree suppliers and warrants reclassification or correction to align taxonomy with actual procurement practice.
