UNSPSC 50396602: Organic black sapote purees

The variety of organic sapotes known as organic black sapotes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50396602 Organic black sapote purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag food-service procurement, though the recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows little direct alignment with organic black sapote purees themselves. Instead, the code appears to sit within a broader taxonomy for processed and shelf-stable fruit products purchased by school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs. The actual buying under this code spans canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, frozen specialty foods, and general food-service commodities—most of which are shelf-stable, bulk-quantity items delivered to central distribution points, school nutrition centers, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, state supported living centers, county boards of education, city boards of education, and county nutrition programs. Repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections (which has posted multiple applesauce ITBs), the State of Illinois (issuing recurring weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (procuring supplemental food and consumables statewide).

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona, with the heaviest concentration in Texas and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, historical price $21.84 per case), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarters, proposals due August 24, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for 2026–27 (due June 26, 2026, 200+ line items across multiple produce categories), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' commodities procurement for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026, 115 line items, Net 45 payment terms). Buy American and domestic-content preferences are common; Oregon and Texas apply geographic preferences; and most solicitations require firm, fixed pricing, HACCP plans or vendor references, and commercial general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million.
