UNSPSC 50566926: Non GMO prickly pear purees

The variety of non GMO fruits known as non GMO prickly pears which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50566926 Non GMO prickly pear purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of fresh and shelf-stable food products for institutional and school nutrition programs rather than prickly pear purees specifically. State and local governments procuring under this code source canned and frozen fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food and consumable products for correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county senior services. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state veteran facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), county school boards and independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport). Procurement activity centers on multi-line-item bids using IFB and RFP methods with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and compliance with Buy American provisions and USDA commodity standards where applicable.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued consecutive ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per solicitation, ITBs posted May 18 and July 10, 2026 with responses due June 2 and July 31, respectively), offering 10 percent total preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders and referencing historical awards to Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner. Texas procurement includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide to state hospitals and supported living centers (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, responses due March 19, 2026) and TDCJ's cafeteria food products procurement across five geographic warehouse areas (approximately 382 line items, extended response deadline May 4, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (response due October 19, 2026). School districts in Texas and Georgia and the City of Bridgeport issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and mixed food commodities. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (responses due June 17 and August 24, 2026).
