UNSPSC 50385501: African sour orange purees

The variety of oranges known as african sour oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385501 African sour orange purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; the recent opportunities tagged under this code primarily solicit mainstream processed fruit products and fresh produce for school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies rather than African sour orange purees specifically. State and local governments do procure canned and processed fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities—through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and state health facilities, but the available recent solicitations show no demand for the specialty fruit product named in the code itself.

The issuing bodies pursuing fruit and produce procurement span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Illinois state purchasing, and Georgia state nutrition programs), county school systems, and municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport). Recent representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with weekly deliveries to 45 schools (bids due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in Georgia with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending (proposals due March 4, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and the upper Midwest, with scattered opportunities in Connecticut and Missouri. The code shows active procurement of commodity fruit and food products nationwide through school nutrition and institutional feeding channels, but the specific product—African sour orange purees—does not appear in any recent opportunity summary.
