UNSPSC 50394500 Organic tangelo purees is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities in the source material. The opportunities posted under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, generic weekly food orders, food and consumable products, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery and food service distribution contracts—none of which are organic tangelo purees or puree products of any kind. The code's nominal scope does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying; activity tagged to this code reflects broad commodity food procurement for institutional food service operations, particularly school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and municipal agencies, rather than any specialized citrus puree category.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and smaller municipal and county entities (City of Bridgeport Connecticut, Muscogee County School District). School districts are the dominant buyer type, reflecting the ongoing national procurement requirement to supply meals under the National School Lunch Program and related child nutrition mandates. Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response date) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical unit price of $21.84 per case; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 (February 18, 2026 response date) for food supply and distribution services estimated at $9 million annually across 32 schools; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 (February 23, 2026 response date, extended from February 16) for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million. No recent opportunities in this dataset involve organic tangelo purees or puree products specifically.
