UNSPSC 50383002: Fingered citron purees

The variety of citrons known as fingered citrons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383002 Fingered citron purees, a Commodity code, shows limited direct market activity under its nominal scope in recent state and local solicitation records, though the code's name does not align with the actual procurement activity posted under this classification. The opportunities tagged with this code instead request canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food and consumable supply contracts across institutional food service operations—meal service for state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, health and human services facilities, and child nutrition centers. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county systems (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). The solicitation activity shows institutional food service buyers sourcing standardized, shelf-stable and fresh produce items, canned fruits, dried fruit products, and broader grocery supply on annual or multi-year fixed-price contracts with firm delivery and quality specifications.

Geographic spread of recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with Texas and Georgia showing the most concentrated recent solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026 (historical value $1.5 million for the prior period); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026. School district procurement predominates, with seasonal cycles tied to academic calendars (July 1 through June 30 contract years) and food service operations demanding weekly or scheduled deliveries, firm pricing, Buy American or domestic content requirements, minimum insurance ($1 million general liability typical), and USDA/FDA compliance. The code's nominal scope (fingered citron purees) is not substantively represented in the recent opportunities; the actual buying activity is broad institutional food service supply.
