UNSPSC 50385543: Valencia orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50385543 Valencia orange purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities attributed to this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, supplemental food and consumable products for state facilities, fresh produce for school districts, and comprehensive food service supply contracts—none of which are orange purees. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either tagging inconsistency in the underlying procurement systems or that the code is used as a catch-all for fruit and related food products broader than the code name implies.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia state agencies), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), and city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts are the dominant repeat buyer across the recent opportunities, collectively representing the majority of solicitations. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school district procurement spread across multiple states and substantial institutional spending. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (over 200 line items across multiple varieties, due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (45 schools plus distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026). The code shows active procurement activity, though the scope divergence warrants clarification of actual commodities being purchased before committing resources to pursuit.
