UNSPSC 50384400: Kumquat purees

The type of fruit which is any of several small yellow to orange citrus fruits with sweet spongy rind and somewhat acid pulp that are used chiefly for preserves produced by a tree or shrub (genus fortunella) of the rue family which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384400 Kumquat purees, a Class code, appears in state and local procurement activity focused on canned and fresh fruit products for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and other state-supported residential facilities. The code's nominal title does not align with the actual procurement activity in the recent opportunities block, which solicits canned applesauce, canned pears, fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, potatoes, eggs), dried fruit bars, and general food supply contracts rather than kumquat purees specifically. State and local governments are buying bulk fruit and produce to support meal programs serving students, incarcerated persons, and vulnerable populations in institutional settings, with contracts typically structured as firm fixed-price agreements spanning one fiscal or school year with options to renew for multiple years.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Education), and county school nutrition programs. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, multiple school districts), Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools serving 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million, due February 18, 2026; and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026. Buy American Act compliance (51 percent domestic content for processed products) is standard across school district solicitations, and most contracts carry firm pricing for the full term with renewal options extending to three or five years. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Oregon offers combined goods and residency preferences totaling ten percent, while most school districts impose no explicit disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides, though some encourage MBE/WBE participation.
