UNSPSC 50385503: Argentine sour orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385503 Argentine sour orange purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal activity in state and local procurement that aligns with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, fresh eggs, and miscellaneous food and consumable products for institutional food service—none of which are Argentine sour orange purees or citrus purees of any kind. The mismatch between the code's specific product definition and the work actually being solicited suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this code to a much broader range of food service commodities than its name implies, or the opportunities have been misclassified in the source data.

The issuing bodies span school districts (including Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal boards (City of Bridgeport), with the greatest concentration among school nutrition programs across the Southeast and Texas. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not match the procurement activity recorded under it, sellers of Argentine sour orange purees specifically should verify actual commodity classification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
