UNSPSC 50385533: Pera orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385533 Pera orange purees is a Commodity code that covers processed fruit products, though recent state and local solicitations under or near this code show limited direct demand for orange purees specifically. Instead, purchasing bodies are acquiring shelf-stable and fresh fruit products across broader categories—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities for institutional food service. The issuing bodies span county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), state agencies (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and regional food service operations (Texas state hospitals and supported living centers). Food service procurement under this code is typically bundled with broader commodity acquisitions rather than isolated to single fruit products; buyers combine canned fruits with proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables in consolidated tenders.

Recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 show activity concentrated in the South and West. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, both citing historical pricing near $21.83–$21.84 per case and applying Oregon-goods preferences totaling 10 percent). Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed food items including shelf-stable products by October 19, 2026 under IWQ 140229. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026). Texas HHS and TDCJ jointly issued large-scale food commodity IFBs spanning 210–382 line items across state facilities, with the HHS procurement (HHS0016792V2) carrying a potential three-year value of $4.5 million. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP due July 16, 2026. Hancock County Schools sought over 200 fresh-produce line items for the 2026-27 school year by June 26, 2026, under the Buy American provision. No solicitations in the block led specifically with orange purees or pera varietal specifications; the code shows no standout repeat activity on the fruit type itself.
