UNSPSC 50384817: Kinnow orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50384817 Kinnow orange purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned and processed fruit products—applesauces, dried fruit bars, prepared fruits, and frozen or refrigerated fruit items—under this code for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and institutional food services. Recent solicitations span canned applesauce in bulk cases for corrections facilities, dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school districts, and supplemental fresh and processed fruit for state institutional dining, reflecting broad sourcing across prepared and whole-fruit categories rather than the narrow kinnow-orange specificity the code name suggests. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County Systems, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Liberty County Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple concurrent fresh-produce and specialty-food RFPs and ITBs across the 2026-27 contract year.

Recent solicitations concentrate in the South and Midwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (4,760 cases, five truck loads, $21.84 per case historical price) due July 31, 2026. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly weekly food orders including fruit products for July–September 2027, due June 17, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables (including fruit items under NIGP class 380–393) for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026. Douglas County School System, using the GEC Buying Cooperative, posted RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (Area One approximately $4.4 million, Area Two approximately $1.1 million annually) due March 4, 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm pricing for the contract period, require Buy American compliance and USDA commodity specifications, and award on lowest responsive bid or best-value basis. Institutional procurement (corrections, state hospitals, supported living centers) follows similar patterns with quarterly or annual fixed-price contracts and firm FOB destination delivery terms.
