UNSPSC 50365009: Canned or jarred blonde oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365009 Canned or jarred blonde oranges, a Commodity code, sees sparse relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—preserved citrus fruit in sealed containers—does not clearly map to the recent opportunities tagged under it. Among the 19 posted solicitations in the block, only one involves preserved fruit directly comparable to the code name: the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026), which specifies USDA 2011 commodity specifications, compliance with FDA/USDA standards, packing in juice or light syrup, and minimum one-year shelf life, delivered in five truckloads of approximately 40,000 pounds each to Salem at $21.84 per case historically. The remaining 18 opportunities span fresh produce, grocery items, food service supplies, and specialized nutrition products for school districts, state institutions, and correctional facilities—categories that fall outside the preserved-blonde-oranges scope and suggest systematic misclassification under this code. Issuing bodies in the broader block include state corrections departments and health agencies, school districts (large rural and urban systems), and county boards of education across multiple states.

The geographic spread covers Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, school districts in Dallas and Austin), Georgia (multiple county school systems and state agencies), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Illinois (state procurement), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). The single genuinely relevant opportunity—ODOC's applesauce tender under UNSPSC 50365009—represents demand from a state institutional buyer for preserved fruit meeting commodity specifications, but the infrequency of canned-citrus-specific postings, the preponderance of misaligned procurement records, and the absence of multiple recent identical-scope solicitations indicate limited current activity in this Commodity code. The code does not show active, recurring procurement volume comparable to the fresh-produce and general-food-supply categories dominating the recent-opportunities dataset.
