UNSPSC 50563800: Non GMO kumquat purees

The type of non GMO kumquats known as non GMO kumquats which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50563800 Non GMO kumquat purees is a Class code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers specialty fruit purees, but the recent opportunities sourced to this code encompass broad food-service procurement spanning shelf-stable proteins, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, baked goods, condiments, and canned goods for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers. The mismatch between the code's narrow fruit-puree scope and the expansive food-service categories present in current solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding or use of this code as a catch-all for general food commodities at the point of posting. State and local buyers using this code include county boards of education, county purchasing offices, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city school districts, and state-supported facility operators.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) for senior services, due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing multiple RFPs for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options, due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at approximately $21.84 per case historical pricing, due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service, due July 16, 2026 (27RFP004); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products across state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide with an estimated three-year contract value up to $4.5 million, due March 19, 2026. Procurement methods vary widely, from informal written quotes and ITBs to RFPs and formal IFBs with formal pre-bid conferences, addenda cycles, and multi-year renewal options.
