UNSPSC 50396000: Organic pommegranate purees

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

UNSPSC 50396000 Organic pomegranate purees (Class) sees minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for pomegranate purees or related organic fruit products. Instead, state and local buyers across the opportunities posted between February and July 2026 are procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, citrus), eggs, and general food service commodities for schools, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County, Austin ISD, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Dallas ISD, and Douglas County systems), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipalities (Bridgeport). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut, with multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative) expanding the geographic and budgetary scope of individual procurements.

The code shows no recent solicitation activity in the organic pomegranate puree category itself. The actual purchasing under the broader fruit and produce space centers on volume commodity sourcing for institutional food service—school nutrition programs accounting for the largest share of opportunities, with contracts typically running annual terms (July through June) and spanning 50 to 900+ line items of assorted fruits, vegetables, proteins, and staples. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items including multiple apple varieties and berries (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by region (due March 4, 2026). Evaluation typically prioritizes lowest responsive pricing, USDA compliance and Buy American content thresholds, established vendor performance history, and service reliability. The code's nominal product class—organic pomegranate purees—does not align with current procurement patterns in the source material; pursuit should be limited unless organic fruit purées appear in state and local nutrition or food service bids directly.
