UNSPSC 50364445: Canned or jarred wilkins tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50364445 Canned or jarred wilkins tangerines, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a specific canned fruit product, but recent solicitations tagged under it span a broader range of canned and processed fruit items—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and supplemental food products for institutional food service. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include departments of corrections, school districts (K–12 child nutrition programs), health and human services agencies, and boards of education. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), with a historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services have solicited supplemental food and consumable products covering canned goods, frozen items, and related supplies for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792 (revised as HHS0016792V2, originally due February 23, 2026, extended to March 19, 2026) with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years.

Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon (Department of Corrections repeat buyer) and Texas (HHSC, DSHS, and school districts). Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026), and Dallas Independent School District issued RFP JC250079 (due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spice and ice cream lots. The code shows activity across state agencies and K–12 nutrition programs, but the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (canned wilkins tangerines specifically) and actual recent solicitations (broad canned and processed fruit, applesauce, dried fruit items, and general institutional food products) suggests the code captures these opportunities incidentally or through broad tagging rather than as a primary procurement category. Vendors pursuing this code should expect institutional food service delivery—volume, firm fixed pricing FOB destination, Buy American compliance, and state-level set-asides (Oregon goods and vendor preferences) where applicable.
