UNSPSC 50561705: Non GMO dominico banana purees

The variety of non GMO bananas known as non GMO dominico bananas which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561705 Non GMO dominico banana purees (Commodity) covers processed banana products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity. Instead, jurisdictions are soliciting broadly for shelf-stable and fresh food products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria commodities, and general food and consumable supplies—that would encompass processed banana items within a larger portfolio. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home system), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county senior services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and municipal nutrition centers. These jurisdictions typically procure food through competitive bidding—IFB, RFP, and RFQ notices—with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value vendor. Contracts run annual or multi-year cycles and include prevailing-wage, Buy American, and insurance-compliance requirements.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Mississippi. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (responses due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026) at approximately $21.80–$21.84 per case; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across five warehouse zones (response extended to May 4, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued supplemental food and consumables IFBs for state hospitals and supported living centers with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million. Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including produce-derived products (response due October 19, 2026); Hancock County (Mississippi) Board of Education bid fresh produce for school nutrition (response due June 26, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education procured commodities including fruit and vegetable products (response due June 26, 2026). Austin Independent School District (Texas) sought proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026). No solicitation specifically names non-GMO Dominico banana purees or any banana-specific product, suggesting the code may not reflect active procurement volume at the state and local level.
