UNSPSC 50363307: Canned or jarred ruby red grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50363307 Canned or jarred ruby red grapefruit is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products — primarily applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits — for institutional food service including correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The recent opportunities under this code show consistent demand for canned fruit in bulk quantities delivered to centralized warehouse and distribution points, with contract values ranging from approximately $41,500 for a two-truckload applesauce order to $9 million annually for comprehensive food supply arrangements that include canned fruit as one component. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bridgeport Board of Education), and special-purpose institutional operators (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC emerge as repeat buyers of canned fruit products under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, Texas, and Pacific Northwest. Representative solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with delivery in five full truckloads to Salem at FOB destination with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including canned fruit) to El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; and Texas HHSC/DSHS IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables including canned goods statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) solicit fresh produce heavily but tag some procurement notices with this code; the mismatch suggests code assignment inconsistency within the recent opportunity set. Pricing is firm fixed throughout contract terms; delivery is F.O.B. destination with transportation prepaid by contractors. Buy American provisions and USDA commodity compliance appear standard across institutional buyers. Set-asides vary by issuing body — Oregon applies resident and in-state preference; some school districts note M/WBE encouragement without formal set-asides; Texas HHSC does not apply HUB requirements.
