UNSPSC 50564926: Non GMO moro orange purees

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

UNSPSC 50564926 Non GMO moro orange purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations under this classification. The opportunities tagged to this code involve canned and fresh fruit products—applesauce, pears, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce including apples, berries, and citrus—rather than moro orange purees specifically. School districts, state corrections agencies, state health and human services departments, and county school systems are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITB (S2910000017453, bids due July 31, 2026) and the Austin Independent School District's dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026).

State and local governments procure commodity fruit products through both sealed-bid ITBs and RFPs, typically awarding to single or multiple vendors on a line-item or fixed-price basis for one-year school nutrition or institutional food service contracts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple statewide IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (including fresh and canned fruits) for state hospitals and supported living centers with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years; the Douglas County School System in Georgia has similarly sought fresh produce for 30 districts through a cooperative buying arrangement with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million per geographic area. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products are standard, and most solicitations require firm, fixed pricing FOB destination with delivery to multiple school or facility sites. Evaluation criteria emphasize lowest responsive, responsible bid; compliance with USDA and FDA standards; insurance requirements typically ranging from $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability; and vendor performance history. Geographic activity spans the South (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Northeast (Connecticut), and Midwest (Missouri), with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service representing the bulk of procurement volume.
