UNSPSC 50361705: Canned or jarred dominico bananas

The variety of bananas known as dominico bananas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361705 Canned or jarred dominico bananas, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within broader food procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly targeting this specific item. State and local governments purchase canned and jarred produce through institutional food-service contracts—primarily for school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services centers, and county nutrition programs—but solicitations typically bundle dominico bananas with dozens of other shelf-stable fruits, vegetables, proteins, and consumables rather than requesting them as a standalone line item. When canned fruit appears in recent opportunities, it surfaces as one line among many: the Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice in the past six months (ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 and ITB S2910000016975 in May 2026, each for approximately 2,000 cases), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a broad IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items including canned fruit alongside frozen, fresh, and dry goods for state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts, county boards of education, and corrections departments dominate the issuing bodies, with sporadic participation from state nutrition programs and municipal nutrition centers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with no standout repeat buyers soliciting exclusively for canned dominico bananas. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice within six months for applesauce specifically, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission regularly issues broad food-commodity RFQs and IFBs covering multiple product categories. The source records no recent opportunities naming canned dominico bananas as a discrete line item; the code's nominal scope does not align with observable procurement activity in the database. Most institutional food procurement uses brand-or-equal specifications and consolidates multiple fruit and vegetable line items under single contracts. Vendors pursuing this code should expect opportunities embedded within larger multi-commodity solicitations requiring response to minimum 95 percent of line items, delivery to multiple sites on firm-fixed FOB-destination terms, and compliance with USDA commodity or grade standards and Buy American provisions typical in school nutrition and corrections food service.
