UNSPSC 50384900: Tangelo purees

The type of fruit of a hybrid between a tangerine or mandarin orange and a grapefruit which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384900 Tangelo purees is a Class code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, potatoes, citrus), eggs, and assembled food products for school nutrition programs and state institutions — a scope far broader than tangelos alone and encompassing everything from commodity food service distribution to specialized produce supply chains. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas, Dallas ISD in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia), city governments (Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut), and state-supported living centers. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, but the code also captures procurement for correctional facilities, state hospitals, and institutional food service operations.

Activity clusters most heavily in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Oregon. Recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products statewide (due March 19, 2026 with a potential contract value of $4.5 million), Dallas ISD's RFP JC250079 for various food products for child nutrition services (due April 2, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (due February 18, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 for grocery supply to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery bids for the 2026-27 school year covering over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, and state and local set-aside preferences (Oregon resident and goods-fabrication preferences, Texas HUB plans where applicable, Georgia E-Verify requirements) appear consistently across jurisdictions.
