UNSPSC 50564909: Non GMO blonde orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50564909 Non GMO blonde orange purees is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity is being used to tag diverse fruit and vegetable food service products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food supply contracts — rather than the narrowly specified orange puree category the code name suggests. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are primarily school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center), and one city purchasing office (Bridgeport, Connecticut). The code sees heavy use by school districts conducting annual or multi-year procurements for school nutrition, with several districts appearing multiple times in recent activity. Work spans ITB, IFB, and RFP notice types, typically with response dates in spring months for July-through-June school-year contracts and with delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas ISD, HHSC statewide, TDCJ statewide, Hancock County), Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Muscogee County), and Oregon (ODOC), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (Fruit Applesauce, due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing, 5% combined Oregon goods and resident bidder preference), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (Dried Fruit Bars and Apple Crisps, due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (Food and Consumable Products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 (Fresh Produce, due June 26, 2026, over 200 line items, Buy American 51% domestic content minimum). Bidders should note that school district procurements typically require firm pricing for full contract periods (often one year), compliance with USDA commodity and Buy American standards, general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and electronic submission through district-specific portals (Bonfire, OpenGov, TITAN School Solutions, or OregonBuys). The mismatch between the UNSPSC code name and actual solicitation scope suggests this code is used as a catch-all for food service commodities in state and local systems and may not reflect accurate commodity classification in all cases.
