UNSPSC 50385532: Parson brown orange purees

The variety of oranges known as parson brown oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385532 Parson brown orange purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with the code's stated scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for Parson brown orange purees, orange juice products, or citrus concentrates. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service procurement across state and local jurisdictions—canned applesauce from the Oregon Department of Corrections, dried fruit bars from Austin Independent School District, weekly food orders from the State of Illinois, fresh produce from Hancock County Schools and Douglas County Schools, and comprehensive food supply contracts from Texas HHS facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions. The mismatch suggests either that agencies rarely procure this specific commodity under this UNSPSC code, or that recent solicitations have been tagged incorrectly in the source system.

The broader food service category under which this code sits does see active procurement across state departments, county and city school districts, corrections agencies, and health and human services facilities, primarily in the South and Southwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state supported living centers (due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-year value of $1.5 million), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. If the code is being used correctly by issuing bodies, specialized citrus purees may represent a niche segment within institutional food service; if it is being misapplied, the code warrants review before allocating business development resources.
