UNSPSC 50362606: Canned or jarred etrog citrons

The variety of citrons known as etrog citrons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362606 Canned or jarred etrog citrons is a Commodity code covering preserved citrus fruits and related canned or jarred fruit products procured by state and local governments for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reveal that issuing bodies are purchasing canned and jarred fruit products—primarily applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits—for institutional food service rather than specialty etrog items. The mix of issuing bodies includes state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and municipalities. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), specifying USDA 2011 commodity specifications, firm fixed pricing on a per-case basis, and FOB destination delivery to central distribution centers in Salem. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued complementary IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, encompassing canned goods alongside fresh and frozen items with estimated values up to $4.5 million over multi-year periods. School districts and municipal food service operations across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Missouri have also solicited canned and preserved fruit products as part of broader grocery or food service contracts.

The code shows activity concentrated in state corrections and health and human services procurement, with secondary activity in school nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer of canned applesauce, with historical pricing at approximately $21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission regularly procures canned fruit and preserved items as line items within broader food supply contracts for state institutional facilities. Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with no single region dominant. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a July 31, 2026 response date, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products across 210 line items including canned goods with a March 19, 2026 response date. Pricing in these procurements is typically quoted per unit or per case on a firm fixed basis with all transportation and fuel charges included, delivery is FOB destination, and contract terms generally run one to three years with optional renewals.
