UNSPSC 50384805: Ellensdale orange purees

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as ellensdale oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384805 Ellensdale orange purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a single specialized product, but the recent opportunities in the dataset show little activity directly aligned with orange purees. Instead, state and local governments soliciting under this code or nearby food-service codes are purchasing canned fruit products—applesauce, pears, and mixed fresh and processed fruits—for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and school districts. The actual procurement activity reflects broad food-service supply chains for public institutions, where fruit purees and similar products function as components within larger recurring food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, and Hancock County Board of Education), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and occasionally city-level nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Repeat institutional purchasers include school nutrition programs across multiple states and state-operated health and correctional facilities.

The geographic spread reflects activity across the South (Georgia, Texas, Florida), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruits (estimated prior-period value $1.5 million, due July 11, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens (contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, due April 27, 2026). Contracts typically run one year with renewable terms; pricing is firm fixed with allowance for CPI or manufacturer-cost-driven adjustments; and awards are made on a best-value or lowest-responsive-responsible-bidder basis, frequently to multiple vendors by line item or service area.
