UNSPSC 50385542: Tunis orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385542 Tunis orange purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of Tunis orange purees or citrus purees specifically. The opportunities solicited under this code span a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — including canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, cafeteria proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous food supplies to schools, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, county senior services, and state veterans homes. The work involves responding to competitive sealed bids, informal quotes, and RFPs with firm fixed pricing, delivery to designated institutional locations, compliance with USDA commodity specifications or Buy American provisions where applicable, and maintenance of commercial liability insurance. Issuing bodies span state purchasing offices (Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and special-purpose health and senior-services agencies.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Southwest, with multiple solicitations from Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, alongside Illinois and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) with quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office requesting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a brand-specific and brand-or-equal basis with responses due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, and offering a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026. The code shows no recent procurement activity specific to Tunis orange purees.
