UNSPSC 50395700: Organic pineapple purees

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

UNSPSC 50395700, Organic pineapple purees, is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of prepared fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for organic pineapple puree specifically. Instead, the code's recent activity spans a broader range of fruit and food commodity procurements including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general cafeteria food products supplied to corrections facilities, schools, senior services, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state veterans services (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), county school districts and independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), municipal education systems (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and other state and local institutional food service operations. The solicitation types include ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quotes, with response dates spanning May through October 2026. Award determinations generally favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders or best-value selections based on price, compliance with specifications, vendor performance history, and delivery capability.

Geographic activity centers on the South and West, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso, TDCJ), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award price $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales) with delivery to Salem's Central Distribution Center by July 2026; the Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers, comprising 210 line items with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services with delivery required by December 7, 2026. The code shows active procurement for volume institutional food service but no recent opportunities specifically tagged to organic pineapple puree; vendors pursuing this code should expect competition centered on broader commodity food categories and institutional supply contracts where pricing and reliable delivery logistics drive award decisions.
