UNSPSC 50364428: Canned or jarred nocatee tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50364428 Canned or jarred nocatee tangelo oranges is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses canned fruit products broadly—applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruit items—procured by state departments, school districts, and institutional food service operations. State and local governments use this code to stock cafeteria pantries, correctional facility dining, and child nutrition programs with shelf-stable fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications. Recent solicitations show the code covers not only the nominal citrus product but canned fruit in multiple forms, with quantities ranging from roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases per procurement and pricing historically in the $21–$22 per case range. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and school districts across the country are the primary issuing bodies, along with institutional state supported living centers. Evaluation typically emphasizes low cost, USDA compliance, and the ability to deliver in bulk truck loads on firm fixed-price, FOB destination terms.

Activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with the most recent opportunities showing strong school-district and state-agency demand. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem, Oregon, and bids due July 31, 2026, offering combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical award was to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruits for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026, and an estimated annual contract value of $1.5 million over the prior period. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 for commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic bids due June 26, 2026, and the Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. All recent solicitations emphasize firm pricing, prepaid delivery, compliance with the Buy American Act or USDA domestic-content minimums, and insurance ranging from $1 to $2 million in general liability coverage.
