UNSPSC 50563503: Non GMO lucida guava purees

The variety of non GMO guavas known as non GMO lucida guavas which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50563503 Non GMO lucida guava purees is a Commodity code that describes specialty fruit purees and processing products. State and local governments procuring under this code buy prepared and packaged fruit products for institutional food service — primarily schools, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and health and human services facilities. Recent solicitations show substantial institutional demand for shelf-stable and frozen fruit products, though the posted opportunities reflect a broader commodity food procurement ecosystem spanning fresh produce, canned fruits, applesauce, and dried fruit bars rather than guava purees specifically. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County, Gwinnett County), city school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport), and county social services agencies. State purchasing offices and department procurement divisions manage the majority of recent activity, often on behalf of multiple facilities or constituencies — correctional systems, veterans' homes, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with sporadic activity in other states. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, serving the Department of Community Services; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarters, August through September 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026; prior award $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million for prior period, due July 13, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026. These procurements typically use firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, require compliance with USDA standards and Buy American provisions in school contexts, and award on best value or lowest responsive and responsible bidder criteria.
