UNSPSC 50365014: Canned or jarred dream navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365014 Canned or jarred dream navel oranges is a Commodity code that in practice covers canned and jarred fruit products more broadly than the nominal code scope, as state and local procurement offices use this classification for canned fruit items including applesauce, pears, and other processed fruit. State and local governments—primarily corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services facilities—procure canned fruit through this code to supply institutional food service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas represent the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs driving the largest volume of activity. Recent solicitations show demand for canned applesauce (Oregon DOC, 4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin ISD), supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods for state hospitals and living centers (Texas HHSC, up to $4.5 million over three years), and general food commodity items for institutional cafeterias and nutrition centers. Procurement methods vary from ITBs and RFPs to as-needed purchases through established contracts, with most opportunities requiring firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity standards, Buy American provisions, and food safety certifications including HACCP plans.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in other states. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, offering a 10 percent combined state preference for Oregon-processed goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving 23 qualified ordering entities across Texas with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million through August 31, 2028; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for master grocery K-12 with weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens throughout Northern Virginia (bids due April 27, 2026). School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) each issuing multiple commodity food solicitations. No standout repeat winners are identified in the source; historical award data names only Robbins Sales (Oregon DOC applesauce, June 2026) and MJ Kellner (Oregon DOC applesauce, January 2026). Delivery timelines typically require first delivery within 45–60 days of order, with ongoing weekly or scheduled multi-truck deliveries on firm pricing through contract end, often with renewal options extending 2–4 years. Bidders must maintain $1–2 million in commercial general liability insurance, comply with prevailing wage requirements where applicable, and in school-based procurements demonstrate USDA and Buy American compliance, often with no-bid minimums of 95 percent of line items and disqualification for failure to submit required compliance certifications.
