UNSPSC 50562805: Non GMO gundila date purees

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO gundila dates which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562805 Non GMO gundila date purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify shelf-stable and fresh fruit products for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal gundila-date-puree category. Instead, the code has been applied to a broader range of fruit and produce procurement: school districts, county nutrition services, corrections departments, and state-supported living centers are soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce assortments, and general cafeteria food items. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, for example, requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned fruits and vegetables for senior services; the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce in cases of 1,904 to 4,760 units; and the Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps for direct delivery to its central warehouse. State and local nutrition operations—school food services, county senior-services programs, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers—are the primary issuing bodies, with repeat procurement from Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly food orders in 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections (recurring applesauce contracts), and multi-location state health and human services commissions.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with notable solicitation volume from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, TDCJ, school districts), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Georgia again. The Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB in June 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items for three school locations under a firm July 2026 through June 2027 contract; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services jointly solicited supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, fresh and frozen products) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years; and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education requested bids on 115 commodities line items (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruit and vegetable products) through June 2026 under Buy American provisions and MBE/CBE certification requirements. Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria, with firm pricing required for the contract term and delivery to designated facilities on FOB Destination terms within specified windows (typically 30 to 60 days post-order).
