UNSPSC 50385508: Bittersweet daidai orange purees

The variety of oranges known as bittersweet daidai oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385508 Bittersweet daidai orange purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear little relation to the code's nominal scope. Of the 24 opportunities in the dataset, none solicit bittersweet daidai orange purees specifically; instead, they request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, general food supply, fresh produce, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables, dairy, proteins, and commodity food products for schools, correctional facilities, and state institutions. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this Commodity tier code is being used as a catch-all tag for broader food procurement activity that spans produce, prepared foods, and consumables well outside the daidai orange product line.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, and Douglas County Schools), along with state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and the State of Georgia. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals statewide with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million (closed March 19, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (due February 18, 2026), and multiple school district procurements for fresh produce and grocery items across the 2026-27 school year (July 1, 2026 starts). Prices are typically firm-fixed across contract terms, with delivery to multiple locations required, Buy American compliance mandated for school nutrition programs, and evaluation predominantly on lowest responsive bid or best value criteria. Given the code's apparent overuse for unrelated commodity food procurement, activity assessment depends on whether your firm targets the broad institutional food supply market rather than the narrow daidai orange product category the code nominally describes.
