UNSPSC 50365018: Canned or jarred jincheng oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365018 Canned or jarred jincheng oranges is a Commodity code with minimal direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific preserved citrus product, but the recent opportunities posted under this code or closely aligned to it cover a broader spectrum of food procurement — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, canned and fresh produce, and general food service supplies — rather than jincheng oranges specifically. State and local buyers using this code span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Muscogee County School District), and municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, Dallas Independent School District). The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers across multiple solicitations for canned and supplemental food products.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with substantial recent procurement in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Oregon (ODOC), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026) with historical pricing of $21.84 per case and a 10% combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including canned and frozen products, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); and the Dallas Independent School District's RFP JC250079 for various food products including spice and ice cream lots (due April 2, 2026) for the 2026-2027 school year. Bidders should note that most school district procurement emphasizes Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic content for processed products) and strict adherence to non-preferred ingredients lists excluding artificial colors, flavors, and high-fructose corn syrup per state legislative requirements. Canned and jarred fruit procurement at the state and local level typically flows through demand-driven institutional food service channels with firm, fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and renewal options spanning two to four years.
