UNSPSC 50365035: Canned or jarred rhode red oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365035 Canned or jarred Rhode Red oranges is a Commodity code describing specialty canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code span a much broader range of canned and processed fruit items than the code name alone suggests. State and local buyers—primarily school districts, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies—are using this code to solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food and consumable supply contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, and Rockwood R-VI School District represent the kinds of issuing bodies active under or near this code; school districts dominate the recent opportunity stream, driven by child nutrition program requirements and the volume of meals served daily across multiple school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Connecticut.
