UNSPSC 50563803: Non GMO long fruit kumquat purees

The variety of non GMO kumquats known as non GMO long fruit kumquats which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50563803 Non GMO long fruit kumquat purees is a Commodity code that describes specialty preserved fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring this specific item; recent opportunities in the code block show no solicitations for kumquat purees or comparable specialty fruit purees. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code between May and October 2026 span broad institutional food procurement—shelf-stable and fresh produce for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and county senior services. The actual work being bought consists of large-volume food commodity supply contracts covering canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and mixed food staples delivered to central distribution points or school warehouses on recurring or quarterly schedules.

Issuing bodies include county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), city boards of education (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and county services agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with procurement spread across state-level supply to corrections and supported living facilities and district-level supply to school nutrition programs. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for 2026-27 (due June 26, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (due June 2, 2026 and again July 31, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers (due March 19, 2026, valued up to $4.5 million over three years), and Gwinnett County's IWQ for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and sauces (due October 19, 2026). The mismatch between the code name and recent activity suggests this code may be misapplied to general institutional food procurement rather than reserved for the narrow category of non-GMO kumquat purees.
