UNSPSC 50307502: Water extracted soluble orange solids wesos

In the final stages of separating orange pulp, the pulp is washed with water to recover extra solids. When the pulp and wash are separated, the wash water is concentrated to make water-extracted soluble orange solids (wesos).

UNSPSC 50307502 Water extracted soluble orange solids wesos is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit fresh produce, prepared foods, beverages, and grocery items for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and senior services — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of water-extracted orange solids. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities in the source system or that the code itself is rarely used for its intended purpose in state and local contracting.

Issuing bodies pursuing these opportunities span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Glynn County, Austin ISD, Meriden Public Schools, Central Point School District, McAllen ISD), county education systems, municipal governments (City of Edinburg, City of Bridgeport), Head Start agencies, and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Oregon, and California.
