UNSPSC 50385507: Bigaradier apepu orange purees

The variety of oranges known as bigaradier apepu oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385507 Bigaradier apepu orange purees, a Commodity code, does not appear to match the scope of recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally describes a specialty orange-based product, but recent opportunities posted under or near this classification span broad food and consumables procurement—canned applesauce, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and shelf-stable items for corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and state health institutions. The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed county boards of education, state corrections and health departments, municipal nutrition centers, and school districts; no single buyer dominates the recent record. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (responses due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026, at approximately $21.80 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide with a three-year ceiling of $4.5 million (bid due March 19, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution zones (bid due May 4, 2026, after extension), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026).

Recent activity clusters in Georgia (Gwinnett County's informal food purchase quote due October 19, 2026; Hancock County Schools fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026; and a State of Georgia food supplies quote), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB due July 13, 2026; TDCJ cafeteria products IFB due May 4, 2026), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders, brand-specific and brand-or-equal, with multiple quarters solicited), Oregon (ODOC applesauce procurements), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities IFB due June 26, 2026), and Massachusetts (Hancock County). The code shows no recent opportunities explicitly seeking bigaradier apepu orange purees or any orange-puree specialty product; instead, recent solicitations target commodity-grade shelf-stable, frozen, and fresh foods for mass food service operations. Vendors pursuing activity under this code should monitor general food and consumables solicitations rather than expect specialized orange-puree demand.
