UNSPSC 50364435: Canned or jarred robinson oranges

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

UNSPSC 50364435 Canned or jarred robinson oranges is a Commodity code that describes preserved citrus products, though recent state and local solicitations under this code actually focus on a broader range of canned and jarred preserved fruits rather than robinson oranges specifically. State and local governments procure these items primarily for institutional food service—corrections facilities, schools, health and human services centers, and other public nutrition programs—where shelf-stable fruit products provide reliable inventory for meal preparation and supplemental nutrition. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments, independent school districts, county boards of education, and municipal nutrition services, with repeat activity from education and institutional care providers. The work solicited ranges from single-item procurements of applesauce or pears to line-item components within larger food-service supply contracts serving hundreds of students or residents daily.

Geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with scattered activity in the Midwest and Northeast. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-business preference; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for supplemental food and consumable products (IFB HHS0016792, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) covering 210 line items including canned and preserved fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School districts also bid preserved fruit as component items within broader food-service procurements, as seen in Dallas Independent School District's February 2026 RFP for food products and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 grocery contract. Pricing remains firm for contract terms, and delivery typically occurs FOB destination with full freight prepaid by contractors.
