UNSPSC 50394003: Organic long fruit kumquat purees

The variety of organic kumquats known as organic long fruit kumquats which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50394003 Organic long fruit kumquat purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities in the source show solicitations for broad shelf-stable and fresh food procurement — canned applesauce, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and general food service commodities — but none specifically name kumquat purees or organic fruit purees. The code appears to be a mismatch with the work actually being bought. Issuing bodies soliciting under related food commodity codes include county boards of education, state corrections and health agencies, school districts, and municipal nutrition centers across multiple jurisdictions. Scope typically spans food and consumable products for institutional food service, including proteins, dairy, grains, fresh and frozen produce, canned goods, and related kitchen supplies, with detailed USDA grade and packaging specifications, firm pricing, and FOB destination delivery terms.

The recent opportunities appear across Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners for senior services, Hancock County Board of Education for school nutrition), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and other states. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a combined Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference of up to 10%; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum). Given the divergence between the code name and actual recent opportunities, vendors should verify that kumquat puree demand exists under this code before investing in pursuit strategy.
