UNSPSC 50364402 Canned or jarred clementine tangerines is a Commodity code that encompasses preserved citrus products and broader fruit preservation categories state and local government food service operations actually procure—though recent solicitations show substantial misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing patterns, with canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce dominating recent state and local activity rather than clementines specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span state corrections departments, independent school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and municipal school systems. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school districts appear repeatedly as active buyers of canned and preserved fruit products. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response deadline July 31, 2026, with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-bidder preference), the Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response deadline July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned and preserved items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois, Connecticut, and Missouri. Correction and institutional food service operations—prisons, state hospitals, state supported living centers—represent a distinct procurement stream from school nutrition programs, which dominate the broader preserved-fruit and canned-goods market. School districts typically solicit fresh produce alongside or separately from canned goods and processed items, with examples including Hancock County Schools (Georgia) fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026, and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (Connecticut) commodities bid due June 26, 2026. Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing for contract periods, and state or regional preference programs (Oregon goods preference, Texas SmartBuy fees) appear consistently across institutional food service solicitations. No recent opportunities specifically named canned or jarred clementine tangerines; the code shows minimal direct relevance to current state and local procurement activity, with preserved applesauce, canned vegetables, and mixed fruit products absorbing the actual buying volume in this category.
