UNSPSC 50364005: Canned or jarred meiwa kumquats

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

UNSPSC 50364005 Canned or jarred meiwa kumquats is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable, canned or jarred fruit products for institutional food service — though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with meiwa kumquats specifically. The state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect broader food-supply procurement by county social services departments, state corrections agencies, state-operated health and human services facilities, school districts, and city boards of education. Issuing bodies span county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state-operated veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), and municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). These jurisdictions procure canned applesauce, dried fruit products, canned vegetables, and shelf-stable commodity foods in bulk for inmate populations, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the heaviest volume in Texas state agency procurement. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July and May 2026 invitations to bid (ITB) for canned applesauce (4,760 cases in July and 1,904 cases in May) with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and Oregon-content preferences totaling 10 percent; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 invitation for bid (IFB) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a September 2026 through August 2028 contract term; and Austin Independent School District's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to the district's central warehouse. Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear in school district and USDA-funded solicitations; state agencies frequently apply state-of-origin preferences and require prevailing wage compliance where applicable. Delivery is almost universally FOB destination with firm, fixed pricing over the contract term, and most opportunities require three to five business-day response windows or turnaround-time proposals.
