UNSPSC 50365029: Canned or jarred navelina oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365029 Canned or jarred navelina oranges (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement primarily as one line item within broader food-service solicitations rather than as a standalone category. Recent opportunities show the code covering shelf-stable fruit products—canned and jarred citrus, applesauce, and dried fruit—purchased by corrections departments, state health agencies, school districts, county social-services boards, and municipal education systems for inmate meals, patient nutrition, and student lunch programs. The work involves competitive sealed bidding on firm, fixed unit pricing with delivery to central distribution centers or facility-specific locations, typically on FOB destination terms with transportation prepaid by the vendor. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, independent school districts, and county social-services departments. The mix skews toward corrections facilities and institutional food service rather than retail or commercial food distribution.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice (ITBs in May and July 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple quarterly food contracts for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026), and Georgia and Texas state agencies have issued broad commodity food solicitations (May and June 2026). County boards of education in Georgia (Gwinnett and Hancock Counties) posted food and fresh-produce RFQs and IFBs in June and October 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Austin Independent School District (Texas) also appear in the record. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food order for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (proposals due August 24, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case (bids due July 31, 2026).
