UNSPSC 50365105: Canned or jarred solo papayas

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

UNSPSC 50365105 Canned or jarred solo papayas is a Commodity code covering preserved papaya products that state and local governments procure almost exclusively as components of broader food service supply contracts rather than standalone items. Recent solicitations show the code tagged to opportunities spanning school nutrition programs, institutional foodservice for corrections and healthcare facilities, and municipal child nutrition operations, though actual papaya-specific procurement appears minimal in the recent opportunities block — the code's tagging reflects the heterogeneous nature of food procurement taxonomy rather than focused demand for this single product line.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District) alongside state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), municipal boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education), and county school systems across the South and upper Midwest. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix. Recent opportunities spanning February through July 2026 show activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with firm pricing quoted per case and a combined 10 percent state preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including papayas (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) with deliveries to three school sites across the 2026-27 contract year; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and estimated annual spending guidance. The code shows routine activity across institutional foodservice, but papaya-specific demand does not emerge as a standalone procurement driver — buyers tag the code when canned or preserved fruit items appear in aggregate food supply RFQs and ITBs, making it a secondary taxonomy marker rather than a primary sourcing target.
