UNSPSC 50383004: Bushakan citron purees

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

UNSPSC 50383004 Bushakan citron purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying food products for institutional meal service — but the recent opportunities tagged to it span applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, general food supplies, and cafeteria staples. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, school districts, school nutrition programs, health and human services commissions, and city boards of education across multiple states. The geographic spread of recent activity includes Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, school districts), Georgia (county and district school systems), Connecticut (municipal board of education), Missouri (school district), Illinois (state office), and other jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities show a mismatch between the code's nominal description (bushakan citron purees, a specific preserved citrus product) and what is actually being procured. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026), with an estimated 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historically awarded to Robbins Sales. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited brand-specific weekly food orders for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027 (due June 17, 2026), and the Texas HHSC also issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a historical value of $1.5 million. These and other recent postings reflect institutional food service procurement broadly rather than citrus purees specifically. The code appears to be a catch-all categorization or tagging error rather than a category with substantive recent procurement activity in its literal scope.
