UNSPSC 50385524: Marr orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385524 Marr orange purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, weekly fresh food orders, fresh produce and eggs, grocery items, and food service products for institutional cafeterias and school nutrition programs—none of which are orange purees or match the code's stated category. State and local procurement offices across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri are issuing ITBs, RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for food service supply, but the products being solicited are general groceries, produce, and prepared foods rather than orange purees specifically. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county school systems (Hancock County Schools, Muscogee County Schools), and a municipal nutrition center (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut).

The geographic spread covers the South (Georgia, Texas), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), and the Northeast (Connecticut), with the highest recent activity in Texas and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026, seeking 4,760 cases under USDA 2011 commodity specifications with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP commodity classes with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with contract performance from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The code itself does not appear to be a primary or accurate descriptor for the work being bought; practitioners should verify the correct commodity classification before pursuing opportunities tagged with this code.
