UNSPSC 50385511: California navel orange purees

The variety of oranges known as california navel oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385511 California navel orange purees is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes citrus purees, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it predominantly solicit broad grocery and food-service categories spanning canned fruit, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, and institutional food supplies. The issuing bodies comprise state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County, Dallas Independent School District, Hancock County), and specialized state facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts dominate the recent activity, appearing in roughly two-thirds of the posted opportunities, with the remainder split among state agency food procurement and corrections facilities. The code does not show activity specifically targeting California navel orange purees as a discrete line item; instead, the Commodity code functions as a catch-all categorization for varied institutional food procurement.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary presence in Illinois, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem in five truck loads at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and contract term through August 2028; the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supply across 52 delivery points with a one-year term and four renewal options at firm fixed pricing; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million across 32 schools. Buying patterns stress firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, broad commodity line-item coverage, Buy American compliance, USDA standards adherence, and multi-year renewal optionality. The code shows robust activity but lacks specificity to California citrus purees—vendors should treat the code as a broad institutional food-supply category rather than a narrowly defined commodity line.
