UNSPSC 50561700: Non GMO banana purees

The type of non GMO bananas known as non GMO bananas which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561700 Non-GMO banana purees is a Class code that frames state and local governments' procurement of canned and processed fruit products—including applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and food service commodities—rather than the narrow banana-puree specification the code name suggests. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers treating this code as a catch-all for fruit and produce procurement across multiple categories, with the mix of issuing bodies spanning state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County System, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Board of Education), and county/city health and nutrition services (City of Bridgeport, multiple Georgia school systems). School districts and state institutional-food-service agencies dominate the recent activity, with repeat procurement by Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce), Texas HHSC (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers), and multiple Georgia school districts. The work being solicited includes multi-product food-service supply contracts (200+ line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, produce, condiments, and prepared foods), fresh-produce-only contracts (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, eggs), processed fruit products (canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps), and quarterly/annual food commodity buys for institutional feeding.

Geographic concentration is strongest in the South and Pacific Northwest, with the most recent activity in Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County school systems), Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; Austin ISD's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP Class numbers 385, 390, 380, and 393 with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Buy American and domestic-content requirements appear in multiple solicitations, and school-district contracts consistently emphasize USDA compliance, nutritional standards, and multi-vendor award structures on a line-item basis.
