UNSPSC 50365001: Canned or jarred african sour oranges

The variety of oranges known as african sour oranges that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365001 Canned or jarred African sour oranges (Commodity) sees minimal relevant recent activity — the code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local governments are actually soliciting. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. These procurements reflect institutional food service buying, not the specialized citrus product the code names. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Liberty County Board of Education), state departments of corrections and health and human services (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois.

Representative solicitations show the actual buying pattern. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026) covering 210 line items across bread, dairy, frozen foods, and canned goods with a three-year potential value of $4,500,000; the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution serving 25,500 students across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, and multiple Georgia school districts solicit grocery and produce contracts on annual cycles. The code shows no solicitations for African sour oranges specifically and does not represent a distinct procurement opportunity worth pursuing under its nominal taxonomy classification.
