UNSPSC 50395200: Organic papaya purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic papayas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395200 Organic papaya purees is a Class code that encompasses fresh produce and specialty fruit items procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct activity aligned with the organic papaya puree specification. The code appears underutilized in the tracked opportunities; instead, issuing bodies are purchasing broader fresh produce, canned fruits, and prepared food products across multiple categories. State and local governments buying under fruit and produce classifications include school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, and municipal school systems. Representative recent solicitations show activity in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the largest volume of issuing bodies. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia procured over 200 fresh produce line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruits under IFB for the 2026-27 school year with a due date of June 26, 2026; the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, due March 4, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia sought a Master Grocery K-12 term contract covering grocery product supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens under IFB 2000004323 with bids due April 27, 2026.

Most recent activity centers on broader fresh produce procurement rather than organic papaya purees specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple bids for supplemental food and consumable products statewide, including IFB HHS0016792 covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million, extended due date of February 23, 2026, and later reissued as HHS0017449 with a due date of July 13, 2026. Dallas Independent School District issued RFP JC250079 for various food products for the 2026-27 school year due April 2, 2026, with specific requirements prohibiting artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup under Texas Legislative Bill #314. Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), representing repeat procurement activity. The code shows strongest activity in the Southeast and Southwest, with Georgia and Texas school districts representing significant repeat buyers. Bidders should note that institutional food service procurement under this code tier typically requires Buy American compliance, USDA commodity specification adherence, firm fixed pricing for contract periods, delivery to multiple school sites or centralized distribution points, and commercial general liability insurance of $1 million minimum per occurrence; competitive activity is substantial and fragmented across numerous state and local issuing bodies with no identified incumbent vendors.
