UNSPSC 50365040: Canned or jarred seville oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365040 Canned or jarred Seville oranges (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement activity over the recent opportunities reviewed. However, the code sits within a broader fruit and preserved-fruit category where state and local governments actively solicit canned and processed fruit products for institutional food service—primarily school districts, state corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and special districts. Recent solicitations show strong demand for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and a wide range of canned fruits and vegetables to support school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies span state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County and Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools), and municipal school nutrition programs (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County in Georgia). School districts appear to be the most frequent buyers in this product family, soliciting grocery and food service contracts on annual cycles.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Midwest, with particular concentration in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products covering the El Paso State Supported Living Center and subordinate DSHS facilities (due July 13, 2026 with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually), Dallas Independent School District's RFP JC250079 for various food products including spice and ice cream lots for the 2026-2027 school year (due April 2, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Most opportunities specify Buy American requirements, firm fixed pricing for the contract period, FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, and annual contract terms with renewal options. Insurance and compliance certifications (general liability of $1 million or higher, debarment verification, non-collusion affidavits) are standard across solicitations.
