UNSPSC 50385519: K-early orange purees

The variety of oranges known as k-early oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385519 K-early orange purees (Commodity) names a product category that state and local governments purchase infrequently and in limited quantities, though the code shows minimal market activity aligned with its nominal scope. Recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit canned and fresh fruit products for school nutrition and institutional food service, but K-early orange purees specifically do not appear in any of the posted solicitations. Instead, issuing bodies have bought canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, melons), and broad-based food service consumables for corrections facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and special-purpose food service operations. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, county and district boards of education, and municipal school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy reference for fruit preserves and purees rather than a frequently targeted procurement vehicle.

Representative recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for canned applesauce, 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including multiple product lines serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract spanning 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens in Virginia. Most active procurement occurs in Texas and Georgia school districts and at state institutional facilities; little recent volume appears in the orange-puree commodity specifically, suggesting that supply capacity under this code may be modest relative to broader fruit-product categories.
