UNSPSC 50385513: Chinotto orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385513 Chinotto orange purees is a Commodity code that encompasses canned and processed fruit products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with chinotto orange purees specifically; instead, they reflect a much broader landscape of food procurement driven primarily by school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health agencies, and institutional food service operations sourcing canned applesauce, fresh and frozen produce, dried fruit products, grocery staples, and general food commodities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity suggests either that chinotto orange purees represent a negligible share of purchases under this Commodity code or that state and local issuing bodies are applying the code expansively to cover miscellaneous canned fruit and processed food products well beyond chinotto specifically.

School districts dominate recent activity—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) have posted multiple solicitations for grocery, produce, and food service items in the past four months. State correctional agencies and health departments also drive significant demand: the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned applesauce twice (ITBs posted May 18 and July 10, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products to state hospitals and supported living centers. Municipal purchasing also appears—the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought food commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center in June 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida), the Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Connecticut), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and the Midwest (Missouri), with Texas and Georgia showing particularly dense school nutrition procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products statewide with an estimated maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years (response due March 19, 2026).
