UNSPSC 50384902: Temple orange purees

The variety of fruit which is a cross between a mandarin and a sweet orange which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384902 Temple orange purees is a Commodity code, but state and local governments are not procuring orange purees under this code. The recent solicitations tagged with this code instead cover canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-based food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, state institutions, and correctional facilities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity suggests this code sees little relevant procurement at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, and State of Georgia), and municipal bodies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with scattered opportunities in Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Recent representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, historical value up to $4.5 million over three years), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (115+ line items across multiple categories, April 27, 2026 response date). The code appears misaligned with state and local procurement practice; pursuit decisions should focus on the actual commodity categories being solicited rather than the orange-puree nominal scope.
