UNSPSC 50387540: Araza purees

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

UNSPSC 50387540 Araza purees is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices tag to food service contracts for canned and processed fruit products, though recent solicitations under this code show heavy purchasing of applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and other fruit-based items for school nutrition and institutional food service. State departments (including Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county boards of education, independent school districts, and special-purpose districts represent the issuing-body mix. Oregon and Texas dominate recent activity, with secondary presence in Georgia and Connecticut; school districts across these states consistently solicit for multi-year food service supply contracts that include fruit products among broader grocery and commodity categories.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453, posted July 10, 2026 with bids due July 31, 2026, requesting an estimated 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem under FOB destination terms with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449, posted June 11, 2026 with proposals due July 13, 2026, seeking food and consumable products including fruit items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million annually. Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004, posted June 26, 2026 with proposals due July 16, 2026, solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service delivery to the district warehouse. School districts also frequently aggregate fresh produce and prepared fruit purchases—such as Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (including apples and prepared fruit cups) posted March 22, 2026, or Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh-produce line items posted June 10, 2026—alongside broader commodity food contracts. Buy American requirements, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, liability insurance minimums of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, and multi-year terms with one or more renewal options are standard across jurisdictions. Payment terms typically run 30 to 45 days net, with quarterly or monthly invoicing; many school districts now mandate electronic bid submission through Bonfire portals or equivalent e-procurement systems.
