UNSPSC 50395201: Organic green cooking papaya purees

The variety of organic papayas known as organic green cooking papayas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395201 Organic green cooking papaya purees (Commodity) does not reflect the food procurement activity actually under way in state and local government right now. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for papaya purees or any organic produce. Instead, the code shows recent activity concentrated in institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes — procuring shelf-stable and fresh produce in bulk, including canned applesauce, fresh fruit and vegetables, dried fruit products, and broad commodity baskets of proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), municipal boards of education (City of Bridgeport in Connecticut), and state-supported facilities. School districts and state institutional food service programs appear repeatedly across the opportunities. Corrections departments and state health/human services agencies dominate the volume, with multi-line-item food commodity bundles and annual contract values approaching or exceeding $1.5 million.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with heaviest concentration in the South and West. Oregon Department of Corrections posted two canned applesauce ITBs (May and July 2026) with ~1,900–4,760 cases and historical pricing near $21.82–$21.84 per case; Texas HHSC and TDCJ posted broad food commodity IFBs in May and May 2026 covering 210–382 line items with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million and annual terms running through August 2027; Georgia posted a food supplies IFB in May 2026 with Georgia Department of Community Services requesting shelf-stable items in October 2026; Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted three weekly food order RFPs for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026; Connecticut City of Bridgeport Board of Education posted a 115-line-item commodities IFB in June 2026; and Texas HHSC posted an IFB for El Paso State Supported Living Center in June 2026 with $1.5 million historical volume. Notice types are predominantly IFB and RFP with response dates ranging from May through October 2026. The code shows no evidence of organic or specialty produce procurement and does not align with the nominal commodity description.
