UNSPSC 50365011: Canned or jarred california navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365011 Canned or jarred California navel oranges, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable citrus and other canned fruit products used in institutional food service, ranging from school cafeterias to correctional facilities and senior services. Recent solicitations show that the code is applied broadly to shelf-stable fruit items including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and other canned or processed fruit products alongside fresh produce procurements. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Most recent activity centers on food-service contracting for institutional meal programs with firm-fixed unit pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity and food-safety standards, and multi-line-item or aggregated food and consumables procurement.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with the heaviest recent concentration in Texas (state health-and-human-services and correctional food service) and Oregon (Department of Corrections applesauce bidding). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026 (IFB); Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales and a 10 percent combined state-preference incentive; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, fresh through frozen and dried products) due March 19, 2026, with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4.5 million. Delivery-within-45-to-72-hours and firm pricing through initial contract terms are standard. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed goods) apply in school-district and board-of-education procurements.
