UNSPSC 50564303: Non GMO thornton orange purees

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO thornton oranges which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50564303 Non GMO Thornton orange purees (Commodity) is a narrowly defined product code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities show that state and local buyers are purchasing shelf-stable food items broadly—including canned applesauce, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and senior services—but none of the solicitations specifically reference orange purees, non-GMO specifications, or Thornton-branded products. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, city school districts, and county senior services programs across multiple states.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, and the State of Georgia), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The most active recent solicitations are food-service RFPs and ITBs issued by correctional departments, school districts, and state health agencies purchasing bulk shelf-stable and fresh food products on quarterly or annual cycles. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (bid deadline March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million), and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity tied specifically to orange purees or non-GMO citrus products as currently described.
