UNSPSC 50564906: Non GMO berna orange purees

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO berna oranges which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50564906 Non GMO berna orange purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses fresh and processed fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, canned pears, fresh produce, and eggs—procured by state and local food service operations. The recent opportunities show little alignment with the code's nominal scope; instead, state agencies, school districts, and institutional food services are sourcing broad categories of food commodities for child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services centers. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller/TDCJ), school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts simultaneously procuring nutrition services commodities under annual or multi-year contracts.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), and secondary activity in Oregon (ODOC), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Illinois (state CPO). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, closed July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (closed July 16, 2026); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026), with historical spend of $1.5 million annually. Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools reflects the largest dollar scope at approximately $9 million annually. Most school district procurements specify Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and delivery to multiple school sites with weekly or standing order schedules. Award is typically made to responsive and responsible lowest bidders or to multiple vendors on a line-item basis based on lowest qualified pricing and best value assessment.
