UNSPSC 50397004: Organic oratia red tamarillo purees

The variety of organic tamarillo known as organic oratia red tamarillo which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50397004 Organic oratia red tamarillo purees is a Commodity code that describes canned and processed fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. In practice, state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and school districts are buying canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit products, and multi-category food supplies under this code's nominal scope—a significant gap between the code's narrow name and the actual institutional purchasing being conducted. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and city school districts ranging from small rural systems to large urban districts like Dallas and Fairfax County, and county boards of education. Repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections (two applesauce solicitations), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple supplemental food and consumable procurements), and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut, suggesting institutional food service is the dominant use case.

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentration in the South and West. Oregon is soliciting canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) and prior ITB S-29100-00016975 (closed June 2, 2026), both requesting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases for the Department of Corrections, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and 5 percent Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquarters preferences available. Texas HHS Commission is procuring supplemental food and consumables including bread, proteins, frozen entrees, and canned goods across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, with the latter carrying a prior-period value of $1.5 million and an initial contract term through August 31, 2027. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut are conducting annual and multi-year fresh produce, grocery, and food-service-supply solicitations—representative examples include Hancock County Schools fresh produce (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual value near $9 million). Solicitation types include ITB, IFB, and RFP, with response windows typically 30 to 60 days and firm pricing often required for 12-month contract terms.
