UNSPSC 50383003: Fo shoukan citron purees

The variety of citrons known as fo shoukan citrons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383003 Fo shoukan citron purees is a Commodity code with scant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code's abstract name does not match the work actually being solicited under it in state and local markets. Recent opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly procure mainstream food products for institutional food service—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and multi-category grocery supplies for school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities—not citron-based fruit preparations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat solicitations from Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Douglas County (Georgia), Liberty County (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia) for annual school nutrition supplies. State departments and independent school districts also solicit regularly; a state supported living center in Texas and the Oregon Department of Corrections each appear in recent opportunities. No clear geographic concentration emerges from the recent opportunities—solicitations span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Colorado, and Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly food order solicitation (due June 17, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center ($1.5 million historical annual value, IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). School districts soliciting fresh produce and grocery items under this code include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia, due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia, due April 29, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia, IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). The code shows strong activity volume but poor alignment between its nominal scope and actual procurement—treating it as a signal of institutional food-service buying rather than specialized fruit products is necessary for accurate market assessment.
