UNSPSC 50364426: Canned or jarred natsudaidai mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50364426 Canned or jarred natsudaidai mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrower range of canned and jarred fruit products than the code name suggests—state and local governments soliciting under it are actually buying canned applesauce, canned fruit, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and broader food-service staples for corrections facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and other institutional food operations. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county school boards, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. School nutrition programs and institutional food service for detention and state-supported living centers represent the dominant buying pattern, with procurement happening through ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs posted between February and July 2026. The code shows significant recent activity across multiple states but lacks strict geographic concentration; Oregon's Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce solicitations (ITB S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and prior ITB S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), while Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted supplemental food and consumables bids (IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, and HHS0016792 variants), and school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Texas have posted overlapping grocery and produce bids for 2026-27 school years.

Recent opportunities show state and local buyers establishing term contracts with firm pricing and multiple-vendor capability. Oregon ODOC's applesauce bid (S2910000017453) seeks 4,760 cases delivered to Salem at historical pricing of $21.84 per case, with a 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-business preference under ITB. Texas HHSC's supplemental food procurement (HHS0017449) targets $1.5 million annual spend across NIGP food-service classes for an El Paso state-supported living center. School districts dominate the volume: Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026) seeks Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District Missouri (April 29, 2026) posted separate ITBs for grocery NOI and grocery items covering roughly 200 and 900+ line items respectively; and Douglas County School System Georgia (RFP SN 26-004, March 4, 2026) organized a multi-district cooperative fresh-produce-and-eggs procurement with estimated Area One spend of $4.4 million. Buy American Act compliance, USDA commodity specs, firm fixed pricing for contract terms (typically July 1 through June 30 annually), and 98%+ on-time delivery service levels are standard requirements. No recent opportunities show set-asides or restrictions; all are open-competition procurements evaluated on lowest responsive-and-responsible or best-value pricing.
