UNSPSC 50364437: Canned or jarred sampson tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50364437, Canned or jarred sampson tangelo oranges, is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products—though recent opportunities show the code is being applied far more broadly to canned and processed fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and multi-category food service supplies that fall outside the code's nominal scope. State and local buying under this code spans corrections departments, school districts, state health and human services facilities, and food service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple bids for canned applesauce (most recently ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, for 4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case), while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449 (historical value $1.5 million annually). School districts from coast to coast—Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and others—are simultaneously procuring fresh produce, grocery staples, and food service supplies under overlapping code assignments, often via RFP or IFB with response windows of 30–60 days.

Activity is heaviest in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable recent solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas and Austin school districts), and Oregon (ODOC). Northeast and Midwest school districts including Fairfax County, Virginia and Bridgeport, Connecticut are also active. The code shows no meaningful concentration—issuing bodies are fragmented across state corrections, state health agencies, school nutrition programs, and county boards of education, each with independent procurement calendars. Many of these opportunities diverge substantially from the code's nominal scope; the mismatch suggests state and local agencies are applying commodity codes loosely to general food service procurement. Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal options, delivery is FOB destination with freight prepaid, pricing must be firm for the contract term, Buy American provisions are standard in K–12 contexts, and insurance minimums range from $1 million to $2 million general liability depending on the buyer. No set-asides or preferences specific to disadvantaged enterprises appear consistently across the opportunities reviewed, though state-level preferences (Oregon's 5–10 percent for in-state goods and bidders) do apply on a case-by-case basis. Bid response deadlines cluster in late spring and early summer for school-year contracts beginning July 1, 2026.
