UNSPSC 50385506: Berna orange purees

The variety of oranges known as berna oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385506 Berna orange purees (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific fruit product, but the recent opportunities block records no solicitations for orange purees or similar specialty fruit concentrate items. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service procurement across multiple product categories — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, condiments, and miscellaneous food supplies — issued by state departments, school districts, and correctional agencies. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the broad, heterogeneous purchasing patterns suggests either inconsistent tagging by procurement offices or use of the commodity code as a catch-all for fruit and vegetable products outside their primary categories.

The recent opportunities show activity from state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County) across Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026 (approximately 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing), and the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumable products with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a response deadline of March 19, 2026. School districts dominate the activity, soliciting fresh produce, grocery staples, and specialty items through RFPs and IFBs with contract periods typically running July through June and firm pricing throughout. The geographic concentration spans the Southeast, South-Central, and Northwest regions with no single state or jurisdiction showing dominant repeat activity under this code. The lack of orange puree–specific opportunities indicates this Commodity code is either inactive for its nominal scope or systemically misapplied by issuing bodies.
