UNSPSC 50396102: Organic hirado buntan pomelo purees

The variety of organic pomelos known as organic hirado buntan pomelo which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50396102 Organic hirado buntan pomelo purees (Commodity) describes specialty processed fruit products, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of pomelo purees specifically. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting widely across fresh produce, canned fruit products, dried fruit items, and broad food-service commodities — categories that substantially exceed the narrow scope of the code's taxonomy designation. The mismatch suggests that this code, as currently applied in state and local procurement systems, either serves as a catch-all for diverse fruit and fruit-product buys or reflects inconsistent coding practices within issuing bodies. Food-service procurement is driven primarily by school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and county social services divisions, which typically issue IFBs and RFQs with response windows of two to four weeks and expect firm, all-inclusive pricing on delivery-ready terms.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026), each for roughly 1,900–4,760 cases with historical pricing around $21.83–$21.85 per case and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-sourced and Oregon-based vendors. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) solicited informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items in October 2026 with a 72-hour response window and December delivery deadline. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple weekly food-order buys for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, spanning summer and fall 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items with a potential three-year value up to $4.5 million and a March 2026 response deadline. Austin Independent School District and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) also solicited dried fruit bars and fresh produce respectively in mid-2026. These procurements typically require minimum commercial general liability insurance ($500,000–$2 million per occurrence), USDA compliance certifications, three-year record retention, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable. Prices remain firm for the contract term, and awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on a best-value basis at issuing-body discretion.
