UNSPSC 50387544: Cocona purees

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

UNSPSC 50387544 Cocoa purees is a Commodity code that nominally addresses chocolate-based products, but recent state and local solicitations show the code applied to a divergent set of fresh and processed food items for institutional nutrition programs — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and miscellaneous grocery and food service supplies. The actual purchasing activity tracked under this code reflects institutional food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers rather than cocoa products. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Dallas ISD), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), and county/municipal agencies (Bridgeport Connecticut, various Texas counties). School districts represent the largest and most repeat buyer category, with multiple districts soliciting fresh produce, grocery items, and meal-service components across overlapping fiscal cycles.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases delivered FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, bids due July 31, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-goods and Oregon-HQ preference totaling $103,766 estimated value at historical pricing), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (weekly deliveries to 52 school locations plus warehouse, bids due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs across a 30-district cooperative with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (bids due March 4, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 exemplifies high-dollar state-level food-service procurement spanning 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers ($4.5 million potential value over three years, February 2026 cycle). The code shows substantial and fragmented activity across school nutrition programs (the dominant user), corrections, and institutional healthcare settings, with pricing typically firm-fixed FOB destination, delivery compliance requirements strict, and Buy American or domestic-content provisions standard across most solicitations.
