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

UNSPSC 50384906 Willowleaf mediterranean tangerine purees is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable citrus and fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service — though recent state and local opportunities show the code encompassing a broader range of canned, frozen, and fresh fruit items (applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce including citrus), with no solicitations specifically naming tangerine purees. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, city education boards, and state-supported living centers. The work includes bulk food procurement for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services, and school nutrition programs, with purchasing typically conducted via IFB, RFP, or informal written quote, and awards made to lowest responsive bidder or best-value vendor based on unit pricing and delivery compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (closed June 2, 2026 and closed July 31, 2026) specifying USDA 2011 commodity compliance and 5 percent state-preference weightings; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products including fruits across multiple warehouse locations (IFB closed May 4, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB closed March 19, 2026, with maximum value of $4.5 million over three years); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned fruits and vegetables (IFB closed October 19, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia sought fresh produce including multiple fruit varieties for the 2026-27 school year (IFB closed June 26, 2026); Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP closed July 16, 2026); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals closed June 17 and August 24, 2026).
