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, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses fresh and processed fruit products purchased for institutional food service operations including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and social services. The code's scope spans across a much broader range of fruit-based commodities than its nominal title alone suggests—recent opportunities show state and local buyers procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce including papayas and other specialty fruits, and shelf-stable food items for senior services, state hospitals, and department of corrections operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), county boards of education (Georgia, Massachusetts), independent school districts (Texas), county social services departments (Georgia), and municipal nutrition centers (Connecticut). The State of Illinois is a repeat buyer, having solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy at least twice in the recent period.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the South and West, with notable volume in Texas (multiple corrections and state health procurements), Georgia (county schools and senior services), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state veterans facility). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with prior historical value of $1.5 million annually and a contract term through August 31, 2027 plus one renewal option. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in May and July 2026 (solicitation numbers S2910000016975 and S2910000017453, respectively), each covering approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases with historical pricing around $21.80 per case and a combined Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference of up to 10 percent. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to the district central warehouse. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including papayas for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations and a contract term through June 30, 2027 with Buy American requirements and HACCP plan mandates.
