UNSPSC 50364431: Canned or jarred page mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50364431 Canned or jarred page mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product category, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code span a much broader range of canned and preserved fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, pears, and fresh produce alongside frozen and specialty foods—indicating that issuing bodies use the code as a catch-all for preserved and fresh fruit supply rather than mandarin oranges specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Dallas Independent School District. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with a secondary stream of purchasing by state correctional and health-care facilities. The mix reflects demand from K–12 food service operations scaled to serve thousands of students daily, alongside institutional food service for state prisons, mental health facilities, and supported living centers.

Geographic concentration centers on the Southeast and Texas, with significant recent activity in Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Illinois (State CPO). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with bids due April 27, 2026, covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million and bids due July 13, 2026. The Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services estimates annual expenditure at approximately $9 million across 32 schools, while the same district's RFP 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative spans 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One alone. Buy American provisions and USDA commodity compliance appear consistently across school and institutional solicitations; state and local preferences for domestic or in-state suppliers (Oregon's 10% combined preference, Connecticut's MBE/CBE eligibility) are embedded in several awards. Activity is active and steady with response dates concentrated in late June and April–July 2026.
