UNSPSC 50385516: Hamlin orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385516 Hamlin orange purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities record shows solicitations for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food and consumable products for institutional food service — school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services, and state hospitals — but none target Hamlin orange puree or orange puree products specifically. The code shows no relevant recent activity in the source.

State and local food service procurement under related produce and processed-fruit commodity codes is active across the Southeast and Texas, with school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham and Muscogee County in Georgia, Austin and Dallas independent school districts in Texas) and state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO) issuing ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs for canned fruits, fresh produce, and related items on a regular basis. The issuing bodies span K-12 school districts seeking annual nutrition contracts, state correctional and health facilities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and the Southeast, with additional recent activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Upper Midwest (Missouri). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (due March 4, 2026). If your firm supplies orange puree to institutional food service, alignment requires either a code-tagging correction or confirmation that Hamlin orange puree is actually being solicited under a different UNSPSC category.
