UNSPSC 50395119: Organic k-early orange purees

The variety of organic oranges known as organic k-early oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395119 Organic k-early orange purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent state and local solicitations show no procurements for orange purees, organic or otherwise. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span canned and fresh fruit products, dried fruit items, grocery staples, and institutional food service supplies across multiple product categories that bear no systematic relationship to the code's nominal scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections, for example, solicited canned applesauce (ITB S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including bread, frozen foods, and snacks across state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0016792, due March 19, 2026); and school districts in Georgia and Missouri solicited fresh produce, grocery items, and prepared foods for child nutrition programs. This pattern—where a single UNSPSC code encompasses applesauce, dried fruit bars, frozen entrees, produce, and consumable supplies—suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a code definition that has drifted from its intended scope.

State and local procurement activity under this code concentrates heavily in school nutrition programs and institutional food service for corrections and health facilities. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County Schools, Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county school systems (Georgia). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with recent examples including the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative (estimated $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two; RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), the Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental foods at $4.5 million maximum over three years (HHS0016792V2), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026). Procurement methods are mixed—IFB, ITB, and RFP—with response windows typically 4–8 weeks. Issuing bodies consistently apply Buy American requirements, prevailing wage standards where applicable, and liability insurance minimums of $1–2 million general commercial liability. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise preferences appear systematic across the code. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope makes category-level business development strategy difficult; pursue only if you specialize in institutional food service distribution broadly rather than orange puree supply.
