UNSPSC 50365201: Canned or jarred banana passion fruit

The variety of passion fruit known as banana passion fruit that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365201 Canned or jarred banana passion fruit, Commodity, encompasses shelf-stable canned or jarred fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations at correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, county senior services, and state veterans' homes. Recent solicitations show that this code is used as a catch-all classification for varied canned and jarred fruit procurement, though the opportunities in the source do not specifically isolate banana passion fruit as a distinct line item. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader food commodity bundles that may include multiple fruit preparations. Issuing bodies span state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and special-purpose food service operations attached to correctional or health facilities. The code sees regular activity from Texas state health and human services procurement, Oregon corrections purchasing, and Illinois veterans' home food service, suggesting those jurisdictions are consistent buyers of shelf-stable fruit products.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable activity in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases, with historical award pricing near $21.83 per case and Oregon-residency and Oregon-fabrication preferences of 5 percent each.

Gwinnett County, Georgia, requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026).
