UNSPSC 50364427: Canned or jarred natsumikan mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50364427 Canned or jarred natsumikan mandarin oranges, a Commodity code, sees narrow demand in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific fruit product — preserved mandarin oranges in containers — but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code are buying much broader shelf-stable and fresh food inventories for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, health and human services, and institutional food service operations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces under an informal written quote process (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), while the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids on 115 line items spanning eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for school nutrition (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). The issuing bodies include county school systems, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, and municipal school boards — a mix reflecting the code's use across institutional food service procurement.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in the Southeast and among state agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026), pricing historical awards at approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case with a combined 10% Oregon preference (5% for Oregon-processed goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide under HHS0016792V2 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, and cafeteria food products under HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026) with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) procured fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for school year 2026–27 under the Buy American provision (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Buy American provisions, prevailing wage requirements where applicable, and $1 million–$2 million commercial general liability insurance are standard. The code shows activity primarily in June through October 2026 across Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois, with most opportunities posted as RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices targeting response within two to six weeks.
