UNSPSC 50364422 Canned or jarred minneola tangelo oranges is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable citrus and related canned fruit products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations. Recent opportunities show minimal specific demand for minneola tangelo oranges as a line-item commodity; instead, jurisdictions are purchasing canned and fresh fruit as components within larger, multi-item food and consumable procurement bundles. State and local issuing bodies sourcing under this code span counties (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Austin Independent School District, Texas; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Purchasing patterns reflect institutional food service—cafeteria programs, inmate feeding, senior services, and state-facility nutrition—where citrus and canned fruit are stand-alone line items or bundled within 100+ line-item commodity food solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Southwest and West (Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut), with the most visible recent solicitations originating from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, which included canned proteins and vegetables alongside fresh and dry goods; the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with historical contract value of $1.5 million annually and proposals due July 13, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, 2026), each covering approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at historical prices near $21.83–$21.84 per case. The code shows little specialized demand for minneola tangelo oranges specifically; opportunities naming citrus or canned fruit typically do so without brand or variety specification, relying instead on USDA commodity standards and broad "or approved equivalent" language.
