UNSPSC 50362302: Canned or jarred seedless breadfruit

The variety of breadfruit known as seedless breadfruit that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362302 Canned or jarred seedless breadfruit is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, covers canned fruit products more broadly than the code name alone suggests—school districts, state agencies, and local institutions are actively soliciting canned applesauce, canned pears, and other preserved fruit items for nutrition programs and institutional food service. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and others), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and institutional facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Recent solicitations show school nutrition programs and correctional/state facility food services driving the bulk of procurement activity under this code, with demand concentrated in products like canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and supplemental food items that meet USDA commodity specifications and federal nutrition standards.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the South and Southwest—Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and Missouri appear most frequently in recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with a 10 percent combined Oregon goods and resident bidder preference), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million). School districts typically issue ITBs and RFPs for annual food supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products, and delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites; state agencies procure both through similar mechanisms and through statewide frameworks available to multiple facilities. All recent solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, liability insurance (commonly $1 million general commercial liability), and compliance with federal nutrition standards and ingredient restrictions.
