UNSPSC 50365004: Canned or jarred bahianinha oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365004 Canned or jarred bahianinha oranges is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct activity under its nominal scope; state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products—particularly applesauce, pears, and mixed canned fruits—far more frequently than the specific code name suggests. Recent solicitations show school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and municipal school boards buying canned fruit primarily for child nutrition programs and institutional food service. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles; repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, both of which solicit canned fruit regularly. Work under this code involves sealed-bid procurement (IFB and RFQ) of shelf-stable canned fruit products delivered FOB destination to central distribution centers or school warehouses, with firm fixed pricing, USDA commodity compliance, and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations posted from Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case delivered to Salem with a 10 percent combined Oregon goods and vendor preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned items with a historical value of $1.5 million and contract term through August 31, 2027 with renewal options; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food procurement HHS0016792V2 (posted May 19, 2026, bid deadline March 19, 2026) for 210 line items of food products including canned goods with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School nutrition procurements such as those from Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood School District, and Dallas Independent School District show strong secondary demand for canned and jarred fruit as components of broader grocery and food service contracts, though these are typically solicited under broader commodity codes rather than the bahianinha orange code itself.
