UNSPSC 50385520: Kona orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385520 Kona orange purees (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—pureed kona oranges—does not align with the state and local solicitations posted under this classification. Of thirteen recent opportunities tagged to the code, only two involve fruit purees or processed fruit at all; the remainder solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, and comprehensive food service supply across institutional feeding programs. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source data or that 50385520 is not the operative code for specialized citrus puree procurement in state and local markets.

The two tangentially related solicitations—the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce bid (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) and the Austin Independent School District's dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026)—involve processed fruit products but specify items other than kona orange purees. The broader opportunity mix includes school nutrition departments (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Dallas ISD), state-supported living centers (Texas HHSC), state corrections facilities (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), and specialized institutional food service contracts concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri. If your firm supplies kona orange purees or similar specialized citrus products to institutional food service programs, monitor procurement notices directly from state corrections, HHSC, and school nutrition departments rather than rely on this code; the taxonomy mismatch indicates you should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities flagged at 50385520.
