UNSPSC 50365042: Canned or jarred tunis oranges

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

UNSPSC 50365042 Canned or jarred tunis oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses preserved citrus and canned fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments actually buy a broader range of canned and preserved fruit products under this code than the nominal scope suggests — state correctional systems, school nutrition programs, health and human services facilities, and institutional food service operations procure canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and other processed fruit items for inmate and patient meals and student lunch programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham County school systems), and specialized institutional operations (state supported living centers, state hospitals). School nutrition procurement represents the dominant segment, with multiple districts soliciting fresh and processed fruit products; state institutional food service (corrections, mental health facilities, state hospitals) constitutes a secondary but material stream.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia showing recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026; bids due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem at approximately $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; proposals due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including preserved fruit to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other state facilities statewide, with historical volume valued at $1.5 million annually; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026; bids due June 26, 2026) for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple varieties with delivery to three school locations. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content or processed ingredients appear consistently in school district solicitations. Pricing in recent institutional food bids remains firm fixed-price FOB destination with no fuel surcharges, and delivery timelines typically mandate fulfillment within 45 to 60 days of order receipt or on scheduled weekly/recurring intervals to central distribution centers or individual school sites.
