UNSPSC 50385530: Oro blanco orange purees

The variety of oranges known as oro blanco oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385530 Oro blanco orange purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh, frozen, and processed citrus juice and puree products for state and local food service operations, though the recent solicitation record for this specific code shows minimal direct activity tied to oro blanco or specialty citrus purees. Instead, state and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code tier purchase a broader range of fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh citrus and produce, and supplemental food items for institutional dining—suggesting the code captures multiple citrus and fruit product lines rather than oro blanco exclusively. Issuing bodies include county boards of education and food service departments, state corrections and health agencies, state-supported living centers, municipal school districts, and state procurement offices on behalf of multiple agencies. The buying pattern reflects institutional food service standardization: sealed-bid ITBs and IFBs dominate, with pricing evaluated on per-unit or per-case basis and awards typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in May and July 2026 (solicitations S2910000016975 and S2910000017453), with delivery to a central distribution center in Salem and historical pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case; the Illinois State Veterans Home at Quincy solicited weekly food orders on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases in June and August 2026 (solicitations 27497DVAQUINCB52820, 27497DVAQUINCB53751, and 27497DVAQUINCB53752); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a large supplemental food IFB (HHS0016792V2, closed March 2026) with a $4.5 million potential value over three years and another food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, July 2026) for El Paso State Supported Living Center; Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps proposals in July 2026 (27RFP004); and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce including multiple citrus varieties for school year 2026–27 (PE67080NONST2027000000013, June 2026). The code shows consistent activity among prison systems, veterans homes, state health agencies, and school districts, with Buy American provisions and prevailing wage compliance appearing across multiple jurisdictions.
