UNSPSC 50363304: Canned or jarred marsh grapefruit

The variety of grapefruit known as marsh grapefruit that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363304 Canned or jarred marsh grapefruit is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products—particularly applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruit—for institutional food service operations including corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, health and human services centers, and state hospital systems. Recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader range of canned fruit procurement than the nominal code name suggests, with state and local buyers tagging preserved-fruit purchases across multiple product types under this commodity classification. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, multiple Georgia school systems), and independent facilities (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education). School nutrition programs and institutional food service represent the dominant use case, with corrections and state-supported living centers as secondary high-volume buyers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITB solicitations for canned applesauce within the past two months (S2910000017453 posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026, for 4,760 cases; S2910000016975 posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026, for 1,904 cases), with historical pricing at approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case and awards to Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner respectively. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, with the latter (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) carrying a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period and covering food and consumable products under NIGP Class/Item numbers 380, 385, 390, and 393. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia have solicited fresh and processed produce items as part of broader grocery and food-service buys, though these typically encompass fresh produce and multiple food categories rather than canned fruit alone. The code's activity reflects steady institutional food-service demand with seasonal peaks around school-year procurement cycles and recurring state-facility supply cycles, with most opportunities structured as firm-fixed-price term contracts with optional renewals and buy-American compliance requirements.
