UNSPSC 50394004 Organic malayan kumquat purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of processed and fresh food items than its narrow product name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing shelf-stable packaged foods, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy products, canned fruits and vegetables, and specialty food items for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, state-supported living centers, and other institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and county service departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services). The code sees activity across multiple states, with recent solicitations concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Most opportunities follow competitive sealed-bid or RFQ processes, with response dates typically spanning four to six weeks from posting.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope: Gwinnett County issued an IFB on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables for senior services; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted brand-specific weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in August 2026 (due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in both May and July 2026 (approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases per cycle), with historical pricing around $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference; Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested bids for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items) with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements (minimum 51 percent) appear in school nutrition and correctional food service contracts. Delivery to fixed institutional locations, firm pricing for the contract term, FOB destination terms, and compliance with USDA grades and FDA standards are standard requirements across the code's activity.
