UNSPSC 50385512: Cara cara orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385512 Cara cara orange purees is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not match its nominal scope — they span canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District), brand-specific quarterly food orders (State of Illinois), canned and fresh food products for state facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), fresh produce for school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education), and supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). None of these represent orange purees or citrus puree products. The code appears to have been applied to general commodity food procurement that falls outside its defined product line, suggesting either a misclassification in the purchasing office's tagging or minimal actual procurement demand for cara cara orange purees specifically at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), school districts and boards of education (Austin ISD, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Rockwood R-VI, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools), and specialized state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of State Health Services). Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas and Georgia showing the heaviest recent posting volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (approximately 4,760 cases delivered to Salem), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items statewide, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as essentially inactive for cara cara orange purees and consider whether the relevant commodity classification lies elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy.
