UNSPSC 50364421: Canned or jarred mediterranean mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50364421 Canned or jarred Mediterranean mandarin oranges is a Commodity code representing a narrow food product line, though recent state and local activity shows jurisdictions procuring this code alongside broader canned and processed fruit categories rather than as a standalone item. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (not mandarin oranges) with bids due July 31, 2026; the historical award price was $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales. This and other recent opportunities reveal that state and local food service procurement under fruit-related commodity codes encompasses canned fruit, jarred produce, fresh fruit, and dried fruit products as part of larger nutrition and institutional food supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District), counties (Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts dominate the recent activity, reflecting the scale and regularity of child nutrition procurement across K-12 systems.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the South and Southwest, with significant recent activity in Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, HHSC statewide procurement), Georgia (Hancock County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois (State Chief Procurement Office), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple food and consumables procurements (HHS0016792, HHS0017449) with historical values around $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year periods, indicating substantial institutional demand. Most recent opportunities use IFB or RFP notice types with response dates between June and August 2026. Canned fruit and mandarin oranges specifically appear as line items within broader food supply contracts rather than as sole-source procurements, suggesting limited standalone demand; vendors pursuing this code should position product within comprehensive food service distribution or institutional supply responses rather than expect standalone commodity awards.
