UNSPSC 50365022: Canned or jarred late valencia oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365022 Canned or jarred late Valencia oranges (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that state and local governments rarely procure directly; instead, jurisdictions buy canned fruit products as part of broader food service contracts where specific citrus varieties are incidental to larger commodity purchases. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations exclusively for canned Valencia oranges. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement activity—the opportunities tagged under this and adjacent food codes predominantly seek canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed food service assortments rather than canned citrus by varietal name. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Austin ISD, Dallas ISD), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county/municipal nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), with school districts dominating the volume of recent food procurement activity.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent 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 fruit applesauce with delivery to Salem—showing that correctional systems buy canned fruit in standardized form rather than by citrus variety; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, not canned oranges; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers, where canned fruit appears as one item class among dozens rather than a standalone procurement. The code shows little recent relevant activity—vendors pursuing state and local contracts under citrus or canned fruit categories will find procurement volumes concentrated in mixed food service awards, school nutrition bids, and institutional food supply contracts where canned oranges compete with many other fruit and vegetable products under broader commodity classifications.
