UNSPSC 50384832: Pixie orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50384832 Pixie orange purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026, and June 2, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers. These are broad food-service procurements covering dozens to hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, vegetables, grains, and prepared foods—not citrus purees specifically. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently across these opportunities, as only a fraction of the recent activity involves fruit products at all, let alone orange purees.

State and local food service buyers include state departments (Oregon Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Dallas ISD), and county school systems (Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County in Georgia). The geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with activity spanning February through July 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering food and consumables for state supported living centers with historical value of $1.5 million annually) and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens). The code does not show active competitive pursuit specifically for orange purees or concentrated citrus products; buyers in this dataset are sourcing commodity food service items through broad category procurements rather than specialty fruit ingredients.
