UNSPSC 50364430: Canned or jarred ortanique tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50364430 Canned or jarred ortanique tangerines is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a narrow slice of state and local food procurement—specifically canned and jarred citrus fruits purchased for institutional food service. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for ortanique tangerines; instead, the code appears underutilized or mislabeled in current state and local activity. The solicitations tagged to this code span institutional food service broadly: school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and municipal nutrition centers are the primary issuing bodies. The actual work being solicited includes canned and jarred shelf-stable produce—canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections), canned vegetables and fruits in mixed-commodity food packages (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Bridgeport), and dried fruit products (Austin Independent School District). Fresh produce and mixed food-service commodities dominate the recent procurement activity, with citrus specifically appearing only as one line item among dozens in larger food-supply contracts.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with visible repeat solicitation from Oregon Department of Corrections (two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026) and recurring quarterly food orders from the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants). The Oregon ODOC applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) are representative: approximately 1,900–4,700 cases delivered FOB destination to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, with historical pricing near $21.83–$21.84 per case and a standing 10 percent Oregon-goods preference. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Georgia. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two large institutional food-service IFBs (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026, with up to $4.5 million potential value; HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026) covering 210+ line items across multiple state facilities. The code shows no evidence of a dedicated procurement market for ortanique tangerines as a standalone product; vendors should treat this classification as one potential line item within broader institutional food-service and commodity-foods solicitations rather than as a primary procurement vehicle.
