UNSPSC 50364436: Canned or jarred saltenitas oranges

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

UNSPSC 50364436 Canned or jarred saltenitas oranges is a Commodity code that state and local governments actually deploy for procurement of canned and preserved fruit products—though recent activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance to the nominal category. The recent opportunities block contains no canned-orange solicitations; instead, issuers have tagged fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food-service contracts under codes in this family. The mismatch suggests either taxonomy drift in how state and local procurement offices classify fruit products, or that this specific commodity code sees little recent activity relative to broader canned-fruit and food-supply contracts. When fruit preservation appears in state and local RFPs, procurement offices typically bundle it within larger food-service or nutrition-program awards rather than isolating single preserved-fruit items.

State and local activity in preserved and fresh fruit procurement concentrates in school districts, state correctional and health-services facilities, and county school systems, primarily across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Missouri, and Connecticut. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned applesauce ITBs (S2910000017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026), each requesting roughly 2,000 cases delivered to Salem with response dates in early summer. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services jointly procure supplemental food and consumables including canned and preserved items statewide under IFB HHS0016792 and its addenda, with estimated three-year contract value up to $4.5 million across 23 qualified ordering entities. School districts dominate the recent opportunity set: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) all issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, eggs, grocery items, and food supply in the 2026–2027 school year cycle. Most school-district awards run July 2026 through June 2027 with firm pricing and multi-year renewal options. City and county nutrition programs—including Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education and multiple Georgia county school systems participating in the GEC Buying Cooperative—round out the issuing-body mix. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement), Texas (HHSC/DSHS statewide, DISD, AISD), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon DOC). Recent response dates clustered in late April through early July 2026, indicating annual budget cycles and summer-contract starts typical of school-year procurement planning.
