UNSPSC 50364004: Canned or jarred malayan kumquats

The variety of kumquats known as malayan kumquats that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364004 Canned or jarred Malayan kumquats, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of food procurement state and local governments are conducting under this taxonomy designation. Recent opportunities posted against this code describe a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and other institutional food-service items—rather than the narrow product line the code nominally names. State and local issuing bodies treating this code as a catch-all for general food commodities include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and human services, city nutrition departments, county boards of commissioners, and independent school districts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Austin Independent School District appear repeatedly across the recent record. The procurement method spans formal sealed bids (IFB, ITB), requests for proposals (RFP), and informal written quotes (IWQ), with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value grounds.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued back-to-back ITBs for canned applesauce—approximately 1,904 cases due June 2, 2026, and 4,760 cases due July 31, 2026—at historical prices near $21.84 per case, both seeking FOB Destination delivery to Salem with state and Oregon-domiciled-vendor preferences applied. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with proposals due August 24 and June 17, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0016792V2, with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026, and a three-year potential contract value of $4,500,000. The code shows consistent activity but the mismatch between the nominal commodity (Malayan kumquats) and the actual procurement scope (general institutional food service) signals potential misclassification in state and local systems.
