UNSPSC 50365102: Canned or jarred maradol papayas

The variety of papayas known as maradol papayas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365102 Canned or jarred maradol papayas is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices use to classify preserved fruit products, though the recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct activity for the specific product line and instead reflect broader canned and fresh fruit procurement across institutional food service. The code sees sporadic sourcing from a mix of issuing bodies—state corrections departments, state health agencies, school districts, and special-purpose food service authorities—typically acquiring canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce assortments, and mixed commodity food products for institutional canteens, school nutrition programs, and state facility dining. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026 (due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem; the same agency posted a prior ITB on May 18, 2026 (due June 2, 2026) for 1,904 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.827 per case, signaling repeat institutional demand for shelf-stable fruit products under multi-case truck-load procurement formats with firm fixed pricing including all transport and fuel charges FOB destination.

Recent activity spans the Southeast and Southwest with significant concentration among school districts and state agencies. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including papayas and specialty items under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for delivery to three school sites across the 2026-27 school year; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products statewide under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) and prior iterations (HHS0016792 and HHS0016792V2) with historical contract values up to $4.5 million over three years; Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; Dallas Independent School District issued RFP JC250079 (due April 2, 2026) for various food products including specialty items for the 2026-27 school year. Multiple school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) posted regular competitive solicitations for fresh and processed produce, grocery items, and food commodities throughout the March-July 2026 window, all requiring Buy American compliance, USDA commodity specification adherence, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. The code shows consistent but fragmented activity across state institutional food service and school nutrition programs; vendors should monitor school district RFPs and state facility food service solicitations in the Southeast, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest for multi-case preserved and fresh fruit procurement opportunities.
