UNSPSC 50385535: Rhode red orange purees

The variety of oranges known as rhode red oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385535 Rhode red orange purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within broader food-service procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly matching the code's nominal scope. The opportunities logged under this code span shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed commodity items for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers—but Rhode red orange purees do not appear in any of the posted solicitations. State and local buyers executing under this or related food-commodity codes include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), senior services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center), and state general purchasing offices. The code shows activity across multiple states and jurisdictions but little coherence with the product name itself.

Geographic spread includes Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Illinois (state-level procurement), Oregon (state corrections), Texas (state health and criminal justice agencies), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and secondary presence in other states through state-level institutional food-service contracts. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce due June 2, 2026 (historical price $21.827 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide, due March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items across fresh, frozen, and refrigerated products with an estimated maximum contract value of $4,500,000 over three years; Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity and a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual commodities being purchased under it.
