UNSPSC 50564916: Non GMO hamlin orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50564916 Non GMO hamlin orange purees, a Commodity code, covers branded or equivalent shelf-stable fruit products — applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and citrus juice concentrates — purchased by state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county nutrition services for institutional food service operations. State and local buyers source these items through informal quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (ITB), and requests for proposal (RFP) with response dates typically 7 to 30 days out. The code sees steady, recurring procurement from departments of corrections in Oregon and Texas, state health and human services entities in Texas and Illinois, school districts including Austin ISD and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, and county boards of education in Georgia. Vendors face Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content (typically 51 percent minimum for processed items), USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing holding through contract periods, and delivery within 45 to 72 hours of order or to scheduled warehouse locations. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer — Oregon Department of Corrections applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based vendors; Texas entities allow HUB subcontracting plans but do not mandate them.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the most visible recent solicitations from Oregon (Department of Corrections, May 2026 and July 2026 applesauce procurements at approximately 1,900 and 4,700 cases respectively), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center June 2026, $1.5 million prior-period baseline; TDCJ cafeteria food products May 2026 across five geographic regions), Georgia (Gwinnett County informal quotes October 2026 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce June 2026; State of Georgia food supplies May 2026), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders June and August 2026, brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center commodities June 2026, 115 line items under Buy American with MBE/CBE applicability). Procurement patterns show volume buys in the 1,900–4,700 case range with historical unit pricing in the $21–22 range for applesauce and delivery consolidated to central distribution points or school nutrition centers, with contract terms spanning 12 months or quarterly periods.
