UNSPSC 50565800: Non GMO pommegranate purees

The type of non GMO pommegranates known as non GMO pommegranates which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565800 Non GMO pomegranate purees is a Class code that encompasses shelf-stable and fresh fruit products purchased by state and local governments for food service operations, though the recent opportunity records show limited direct solicitation for pomegranate purees specifically. Instead, state and local buyers are procuring a broad range of fruits and fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce including berries, apples, citrus, and melons—as part of comprehensive food service and nutrition programs serving correctional facilities, schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services, and board of education nutrition centers. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), city boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and county or regional entities (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). School nutrition procurement and state facility food service contracts drive the largest share of recent activity under this general commodity category.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Southwest—Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut—with Georgia and Texas showing the highest concentration of recent postings. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and produce (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce at approximately 4,760 cases (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the State of Illinois' brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly cycles through September 2026). The State of Illinois has issued multiple competing RFP cycles for the same facility, suggesting recurring quarterly procurement activity. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products are standard in school nutrition contracts, and most food service solicitations specify FOB Destination delivery with firm, fixed pricing maintained through contract term.
