UNSPSC 50384401: Hong kong kumquat purees

The variety of kumquats known as hong kong kumquats which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384401 Hong Kong kumquat purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly request generic shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and consumable supplies — rather than kumquat purees or any kumquat-derived products specifically. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, independent school districts, and municipal purchasing offices across multiple states, all acquiring bulk food and kitchen supplies for nutrition programs, institutional dining, and on-site food service operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities are being categorized or that the code itself has drifted from current buying practice in state and local contracting.

Recent solicitations show procurement activity concentrated in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two invitations to bid for canned applesauce (ITBs S-29100-00017453 and S-29100-00016975, June and May 2026), with historical awards to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales at approximately $21.83 per case; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items in October 2026 with delivery to the Senior Services Center; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple solicitations for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million. Austin Independent School District (Texas) requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026. No recent opportunities actually solicit kumquat purees or closely related kumquat products, making this code a poor fit for current market activity in state and local food procurement.
