UNSPSC 50391713: Organic red banana purees

The variety of organic bananas known as organic red bananas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391713 Organic red banana purees, a Commodity code, encompasses canned and processed fruit products for institutional food service, including applesauce, dried fruit preparations, and fresh produce—the code's nominal specificity to organic red banana purees bears little correspondence to the work actually being solicited under it. State and local procurement bodies purchasing under this code are predominantly school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District) and correctional or health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, with recurring procurement across multiple state and local jurisdictions for annual or multi-year food service supply contracts. The scope of work centers on bulk institutional food procurement—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, specialty food items, and consumable supplies for cafeteria and nutrition operations, delivered on firm-fixed-price terms with compliance to USDA commodity standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, and strict food safety and nutritional requirements including HACCP plans and shelf-life certifications.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state agencies issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs on a steady cadence. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case (historical pricing); Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly food order due June 17, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two and a deadline of March 4, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity, though the nominal title does not reflect current procurement patterns—vendors pursuing this category should focus on institutional bulk food supply, school nutrition programs, and state agency food service rather than specialty organic banana products.
