UNSPSC 50364438 Canned or jarred satsuma mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred citrus fruits for institutional food service, though the recent solicitation activity under this code spans a broader range of canned fruit and produce products than the code's nominal scope alone suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code—primarily corrections departments, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and education districts—are purchasing canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh and frozen produce, eggs, and other food service staples for inmate meals, student lunches, and facility dining operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce, most recently in July 2026 seeking approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case, with delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide, including canned goods, frozen items, and fresh produce across 210+ line items with an estimated $4.5 million contract value; and school districts including Hancock County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), and Fairfax County (Virginia) have issued multiple IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, eggs, and prepared food items for the 2026-27 school year.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Virginia, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (Fruit Applesauce, due July 31, 2026) offering a 5% preference for Oregon goods and a 5% preference for Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), with a historical value of $1.5 million and estimated $4.5 million potential over three years; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (Fresh Produce, sealed bids due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of fresh fruits and vegetables across multiple delivery sites; and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 (Food Supply and Distribution Services, proposals due February 18, 2026) seeking main-line food distribution with an estimated annual value of $9 million across 32 schools. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, accounting for the plurality of recent postings; correctional facilities and state health systems represent secondary volume; and most solicitations employ firm fixed pricing with delivery to central warehouses or multi-site school locations, prohibit fuel surcharges, and require Buy American compliance at 51% domestic content for processed products where applicable.
