UNSPSC 50384831: Page mandarin orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50384831 Page mandarin orange purees (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code in the recent solicitation stream. The recent opportunities uniformly solicit broader food-service procurement — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, protein products, and general grocery staples for schools, corrections facilities, state healthcare centers, and municipal nutrition programs — rather than a single branded product line. The code appears to carry minimal recent state and local activity aligned to its nominal scope. Across the sample, issuing bodies include independent school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), county school boards (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal education or nutrition services (Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood School District). The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with the heaviest recent activity concentrated in Georgia school districts and Texas state healthcare procurement.

Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem, Oregon by July 31, 2026 (previously awarded to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case, now open for rebid with a 10 percent Oregon-goods preference); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service, due July 16, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution to serve 25,500 students across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million, proposals due February 18, 2026. Most school nutrition and state facility contracts require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products), USDA specifications, and general liability insurance minimums of $1 million. These solicitations are structured as demand-usage contracts with estimated quantities based on prior-year consumption, annual or multi-year terms with renewal options, and awards often made to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis based on lowest responsive, responsible bidding.
