UNSPSC 50365000: Canned or jarred oranges

Any of several species of small trees or shrubs in the genus citrus of the rue or citrus family and their fruits. Grown in tropical and subtropical regions, the nearly round fruits have leathery, oily rinds and edible, juicy inner flesh rich in vitamin c. They have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365000 Canned or jarred oranges is a Class code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses canned and jarred fruit products more broadly than the code name alone suggests—specifically canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods. State and local buyers include departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and facility food services across multiple jurisdictions. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with individual districts and cooperative purchasing consortiums (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative) regularly soliciting fruit and produce products for child nutrition services. State agencies and county boards of education also appear as steady buyers of food and consumable products for institutional feeding programs.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a response date of July 31, 2026, and a historical price of $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales; the solicitation applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division issued an IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response date of July 13, 2026, covering an estimated $1.5 million historical contract value. Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP (JC250079) for various food products including individual line items and designated lots, with a response date of April 2, 2026, for delivery to the Maria Luna Food Service Facilities Warehouse. School districts in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County) and Georgia (Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Muscogee County) have solicited produce and grocery items under ITB and RFP methods throughout the period, with response dates ranging from March through June 2026. The code shows consistent activity in school nutrition procurement and state institutional food service, with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and Buy American or domestic content requirements appearing across most recent opportunities.
