UNSPSC 50385533: Pera orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385533 Pera orange purees (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local contracting activity under this code. The opportunities posted since late February 2026 span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, eggs), cafeteria food products, grocery items for school nutrition and institutional food service, and supplemental foods for state hospitals and living centers—none of which are pera orange purees or orange purees of any kind. The single commodity code appears to capture a narrow product line that does not reflect the broader fruit and food procurement activity that state and local jurisdictions are actually conducting at scale.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and special-purpose buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs representing the largest buyer segment. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products covering 210 line items for state hospitals and living centers statewide with an estimated value of $4.5 million over three years; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering food product supply and delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows no recent opportunities actually requesting pera orange purees and warrants reassessment of its applicability to active procurement.
