UNSPSC 50387540: Araza purees

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

UNSPSC 50387540 Araza purees (Commodity) covers fruit purees and fruit-based food products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service — though recent opportunities under this code show substantial divergence from the nominal taxonomy. State and local buyers soliciting under the code are actually purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad commodity food products for correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county education and social-services boards (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport). Repeat solicitation patterns show particular volume under canned applesauce procurement from the Oregon Department of Corrections, which has issued multiple ITBs for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per cycle at historical pricing around $21.83 per case.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Texas and Illinois.
