UNSPSC 50387542: Poma rosa purees

The variety of fruit known as poma rosa which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387542 Poma rosa purees (Commodity) represents processed fruit products, particularly canned and shelf-stable applesauce and fruit purees, purchased by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service including corrections facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a narrow but consistent demand for canned applesauce meeting USDA commodity specifications, delivered in bulk case quantities to centralized distribution centers. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county school nutrition programs, and municipal board of education nutrition centers. These buyers typically specify brand-or-equal product options with firm fixed pricing quoted per case or per unit, FOB destination delivery with all transportation prepaid, and compliance with federal food safety standards and shelf-life minimums of one year or more.

Oregon Department of Corrections has posted repeated ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026), requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per procurement cycle with a historical award price near $21.83 per case and Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident bidder preferences of 5 percent each. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have similarly solicited supplemental food and consumable products including applesauce as line items within larger multi-product IFBs spanning state hospitals and correctional facilities statewide. Georgia, Illinois (at the Veterans Home at Quincy), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Georgia school districts (Hancock County and Gwinnett County) have issued recent RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs for shelf-stable food products encompassing canned fruit and applesauce. The geographic spread centers on Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, with activity concentrated among state corrections and health-services agencies and school nutrition programs. Delivery cycles typically require response within 45–72 hours of order receipt, with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on per-unit pricing and commodity specification compliance.
