UNSPSC 50385518: Jincheng orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385518 Jincheng orange purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local government food procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The sourced opportunities are tagged under this code but procure canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, general food and consumable products, fresh produce, eggs, and main-line food service distribution—none of which are orange purees or products bearing the Jincheng brand name. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or a code applied too broadly to capture diverse fruit and food commodities under a single taxonomy entry. State and local governments are buying finished and fresh food products for institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and hospital food services, with strong emphasis on compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American Act provisions, and nutritional standards.

Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, school districts and district nutrition programs, county school systems, and independent school districts across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (response due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia ($4.4 million estimated annual spending, response due March 4, 2026). If your firm pursues food service supply contracts, the activity under this code is real and substantial, but verify code assignment with issuing bodies before bid preparation, as category misalignment creates risk of specification drift and bid rejection.
