UNSPSC 50564900: Non GMO orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50564900 Non GMO orange purees is a Class code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring shelf-stable and fresh fruit products for institutional food service—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and packaged food commodities for schools, corrections facilities, veterans homes, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. The recent opportunities reveal that jurisdictions are buying a broad range of fruit-based items beyond the narrow "orange purees" label: canned applesauce packed in juice or light syrup; dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and fresh produce including apples, berries, citrus, and melons. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state-supported living centers. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities appear as repeat buyers. Solicitation types include ITBs, IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs with response dates ranging from same-day to multi-week cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with standout solicitation volume from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ statewide), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with October 19 response due; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with July 31 deadline and 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; Austin Independent School District's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and Texas HHSC's July 2026 IFB for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and compliance with USDA commodity specifications appear consistently across school and institutional solicitations. Delivery terms typically require FOB Destination with inside delivery, firm fixed pricing for contract duration, and compliance with food safety, insurance, and worker-verification requirements.
