UNSPSC 50395116: Organic hamlin orange purees

The variety of organic oranges known as organic hamlin oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395116 Organic hamlin orange purees is a Commodity code representing single-product procurement — specifically canned and processed fruit products that state and local governments buy for institutional food service. However, the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for organic hamlin orange purees directly; instead, the code tags a broader set of food-service purchasing where fruit products appear as line items within much larger multi-commodity procurements. The actual buying under this code spans fresh and processed fruit for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. State and local buyers treat fruit procurement — whether canned applesauce, fresh produce, or dried fruit bars — as components of consolidated food-service RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs rather than standalone single-item buys.

Geographic spread across recent activity includes Georgia (Gwinnett County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education), Texas (Austin Independent School District, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state departments managing food service for inmates, residents, and students. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 1,904 cases of canned applesauce (due June 2, 2026, with a historical reference price of $21.83 per case to MJ Kellner), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items including apples, berries, citrus, and specialty fruits for school year 2026-27 (bids due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million (response due March 19, 2026, with award made as a single comprehensive contract). Fruit procurement activity runs year-round but clusters around school-year contracts (June–July posting) and quarterly food-service renewals for state institutions (June–August postings). Bidders should expect firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, compliance with Buy American provisions or state-equivalent local-content rules, and insurance requirements of $1–2 million general commercial liability.
