UNSPSC 50364409: Canned or jarred fremont mandarin oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as fremont mandarin oranges that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364409 Canned or jarred Fremont mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that describes preserved citrus fruit products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent activity under this code actually spans broader canned and fresh produce categories across corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and health and human services operations. State and local procurement offices—particularly state departments of corrections, school districts, and health and human services agencies—source canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit products, and fresh produce through competitive bidding, with school districts and state facility operators dominating the issuing-body mix. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted opportunities recently for food products spanning canned goods, fresh produce, and prepared items under ITB, IFB, and RFP notice types. Pricing is commonly structured as firm fixed unit rates FOB destination with all transportation prepaid by the contractor, and delivery to centralized warehouses or direct to school sites occurs on weekly or as-needed schedules. Buy American provisions and domestic content requirements appear regularly, with most school districts and state agencies requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, Dallas ISD, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut representing the most recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, specifying 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case and applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, for delivery to the central warehouse. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple procurements including IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a contract term of September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, plus renewal options. School districts in Georgia and Missouri (Hancock County, Liberty County, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County) posted fresh produce and grocery items solicitations through March and April 2026, ranging from 60 to 900+ line items with annual contract values estimated between $1.1 million and $9 million, firm pricing for the full contract year, and weekly deliveries to multiple school sites. Set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises do not appear in these recent solicitations; Oregon's local-vendor preference and Texas HUB encouragement language are the exceptions.
