UNSPSC 50562500: Non GMO citron purees

The variety of non GMO citrons known as non GMO citrons which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562500 Non GMO citron purees is a Class code covering fruit and vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health facilities. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not center on citron purees specifically; instead, they span a broader range of fruit products including canned and fresh applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce staples (apples, bananas, berries), and eggs, reflecting how procurement systems tag related commodity foods under a single code. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) alongside state agencies managing institutional food service for corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services (Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO), and school nutrition cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia districts). A few large districts appear multiple times—Rockwood and Douglas County each issued multiple procurements for grocery items and produce in early 2026, indicating regular reprocurement cycles tied to school calendar years.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable solicitations from Georgia (five school districts plus the GEC cooperative), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Muscogee County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two fruit applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026) seeking approximately 1,900 and 4,760 cases respectively at historical pricing near $21.84 per case. Fairfax County Public Schools issued a Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across Fairfax County, Virginia, requiring minimum three-year food delivery experience and bidding on at least 76 items. The Texas HHSC issued multiple food and consumable procurements (HHS0017449 due July 11, 2026, for El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; HHS0016792 due February 23, 2026, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School districts typically require Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic content for processed products, maintain firm pricing for full contract years, and award on lowest responsive bid or best value, with contracts running July 1 through June 30 to align with fiscal-year cycles.
