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, a Class code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying in recent solicitations under this designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code span shelf-stable food commodities for institutional foodservice — canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and mixed food supplies for schools, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, senior services, and state-supported living centers — rather than citron purees specifically. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and human services, school districts, county senior services, and state procurement offices. The mix leans heavily toward institutional nutrition programs: school nutrition departments and county education boards appear most frequently, followed by state corrections and health-and-human-services agencies. Buyers are located across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut.

Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a response deadline of July 31, 2026, and historical pricing at $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items across fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requesting informal written quotes on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026. Buyers consistently require Buy American compliance, compliance with USDA commodity specifications, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and liability insurance. The code shows persistent activity but a material mismatch between the nominal scope (non-GMO citron purees) and the actual procurement focus (mixed institutional food commodities).
