UNSPSC 50565002: Non GMO maradol papaya purees

The variety of non GMO papayas known as non GMO maradol papayas which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565002 Non GMO maradol papaya purees is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, names a narrow product line but does not align closely with the scope of work actually being procured under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code encompass broad food-service procurement — shelf-stable groceries, canned fruits, fresh produce, and cafeteria staples — spanning counties, school districts, state departments, and state-supported living centers across the United States. The code's specificity (non-GMO maradol papaya purees) does not match the commodity diversity being solicited; the code appears to be a mislabeling artifact rather than a predictive indicator of future papaya-specific opportunities. Issuing bodies include county boards of education and county commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District), state agencies (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Food service procurement in this category uses RFQ, IFB, and RFP methods, with response dates typically 7–30 days after posting.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with several multi-state procurements. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ 140229 (shelf-stable food items, 1,062 cases, RFQ due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 solicitation for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026, brand-or-equal specification); Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case (due July 31, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (proposals due July 13, 2026). No recent opportunities specifically solicit non-GMO maradol papaya purees. Bidders should treat this code as a low-confidence indicator of actual procurement intent and verify commodity-level details in each individual notice.
