UNSPSC 50565005: Non GMO solo papaya purees

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

UNSPSC 50565005 Non GMO solo papaya purees (Commodity) describes specialty fruit purees and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition, institutional food service, and senior meal programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring papaya purees alongside broader fresh-produce and processed-fruit categories—applesauce, dried-fruit bars, apple crisps, and commodity-level fresh fruits and vegetables—as components of multi-item food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include county school boards, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county senior-services departments, and municipal school districts. Repeat buyers over the past five months include the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders), Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce procurement), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers).

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County and the State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). The most recent opportunity explicitly within papaya-processing scope is absent from the record; instead, the code appears in buyers' broader food-service procurements where papaya purees are incidental line items. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026) and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 RFP for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, 3-year potential value of $4.5 million) and the Oregon Department of Corrections' May 2026 ITB for canned applesauce (1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026) illustrate larger institutional procurement vehicles. Buy American provisions apply to school-district solicitations; Oregon and Oregon-based bidders receive combined 10 percent preference in Oregon Department of Corrections procurements; Texas applies a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee.
