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, a Commodity code, sees little recent state and local procurement activity that maps directly to the code's nominal scope. Of the recent opportunities posted under this code, only one—the Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce solicitations (S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026, both ITBs with bids due in early June and late July respectively)—relates to a fruit preserve category. The bulk of the recent opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit broader food-service commodities: shelf-stable staples (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in October 2026 for 1,062 cases of pantry items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables); weekly institutional food orders (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy quarterly food supply in August and June 2026); fresh produce (Hancock County Board of Education for school nutrition in June 2026, Austin Independent School District for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026, City of Bridgeport Board of Education nutrition in June 2026); and large-scale food-service aggregates (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice, May and May 2026 respectively, covering hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, condiments, and specialty items). The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, city school-nutrition programs, and independent school districts across multiple procurement types (RFP, IFB, ITB, informal quotes).

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with no standout repeat buyer. The code shows fragmentation across institutional food service rather than concentrated procurement of orange purees or similar citrus preserves. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that state and local procurement under this UNSPSC number does not reflect actual demand for tangerine orange purees; the code appears misapplied to generalist food-service solicitations where competitive opportunities lie in shelf-stable pantry goods, proteins, dairy, fresh produce, and commodity items rather than specialty fruit purees.
