UNSPSC 50387544: Cocona purees

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

UNSPSC 50387544 Cocona purees is a Commodity code that describes a narrow line of specialty fruit products. The recent state and local opportunities in this dataset, however, show no solicitations explicitly requesting cocona purees. Instead, the opportunities tag the code to broader food-service and nutrition procurements: fresh produce contracts for schools and government facilities, canned applesauce and mixed fruit products for corrections and veterans' facilities, dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service, and general food-and-consumables supply for state institutions. The scope of actual purchases under this code—based on what issuing bodies are buying right now—encompasses shelf-stable and prepared fruit products (canned, dried, fresh, and frozen) for K–12 school cafeterias, state corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, veterans' homes, and county senior services. Issuing bodies range from individual school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education) to state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois) and county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). None of the recent opportunities show repeat procurement of cocona purees specifically, and the code appears to be applied broadly to commodity food procurements rather than to this single specialty fruit category.

Recent activity spans Georgia (Gwinnett County and State of Georgia procurement), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response date of October 19, 2026 (IFB); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026; and Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales. The code shows significant activity in institutional food service, but no direct recent demand for cocona purees as a standalone product line has been identified in current solicitations.
