UNSPSC 50384901: Tangerina orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50384901 Tangerine orange purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's scope. The recent opportunities recorded under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, supplemental food and consumables for institutional facilities, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and grocery items for school districts—none of which are tangerine orange purees or closely related citrus purees. The single opportunity explicitly tagged to the code by solicitation number (Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce, due July 31, 2026) represents a different commodity altogether, suggesting either a classification mismatch in the state or local database or dormant procurement activity under this specific UNSPSC designation. Issuing bodies using related food-service procurement codes include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport). Geographic spread across recent activity is concentrated in the South and West—Georgia, Texas, Oregon—with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, though these opportunities involve broader food-service categories rather than citrus purees specifically.

The absence of recent tangerine orange puree solicitations at the commodity level suggests limited current demand or that institutions sourcing this product rely on cooperative purchasing vehicles, blanket agreements, or bundled food service contracts that roll individual items under higher-level UNSPSC classifications. School nutrition programs and institutional food service remain the logical customer base, but the code shows no active competitive procurement in the review period. Vendors evaluating this code should monitor state and local RFP activity in regions with significant school nutrition programs and institutional feeding operations—particularly Texas, Georgia, and other high-enrollment districts—but should not expect immediate near-term opportunity under this specific commodity designation.
