UNSPSC 50364442: Canned or jarred temple oranges

A cross between a mandarin and a sweet orange that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364442 Canned or jarred temple oranges is a Commodity code that in practice does not map to the canned fruit products state and local governments are actually buying. Recent solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, fresh eggs, grocery staples, and prepared food service items—none of which are temple oranges or citrus products. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (February 2026 and July 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned goods across multiple categories, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requested cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees, and school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, groceries, and food service supplies. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the issuing-agency level or that this Commodity code is not actively used for its nominal scope.

State and local buyers under codes in this vicinity include school nutrition programs across multiple states (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County schools in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Austin ISD in Texas, Hancock County schools in Georgia, Douglas County schools in Georgia), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), and municipal boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut, with secondary presence in Oregon and Illinois. Recent opportunities span February through July 2026, with representative solicitations including the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution due February 18, 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. This code shows little relevant recent activity for canned or jarred citrus products and appears misapplied to broader food service procurement.
