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, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable citrus and fruit preparations that state and local governments procure for institutional food service. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local buyers do not source K-early orange purees specifically; instead, they purchase a broader mix of shelf-stable and fresh produce, canned fruits, dried fruit products, and prepared food items for schools, correctional facilities, senior services, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The code's nominal scope does not align with what these jurisdictions are actually buying today. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia, Texas Comptroller), county governments (Gwinnett County Georgia, Hancock County Georgia), cities (Bridgeport Connecticut), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools), and state-run facilities. These entities solicit food procurement under IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types on rolling quarterly and annual cycles.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December, RFP due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid on approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, ITB due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals, IFB due July 13, 2026; the Texas Comptroller's invitation to bid on approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, IFB due May 4, 2026, with an initial contract term through August 31, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to K-early orange purees as a distinct product line.
