UNSPSC 50365202: Canned or jarred blue passion flower

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

UNSPSC 50365202 Canned or jarred blue passion flower is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local purchasing of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products — applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits — driven primarily by school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code is used loosely; opportunities tagged to it address canned applesauce for corrections facilities, dried fruit bars for school districts, and fresh produce procurement, revealing a mismatch between the nominal code scope and actual buying patterns. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state corrections and human services agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and occasional municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport). Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice in the recent window, purchasing canned applesauce under ITB solicitations with response dates in June and July 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. Georgia school districts (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) have posted multiple procurements for fresh produce and processed foods in February through April 2026. Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD) account for a cluster of solicitations spanning February through July 2026, with contract values reaching $9 million (Douglas County food supply), $4.5 million (Texas state hospital and living center supplemental food), and estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for a 30-district Georgia cooperative. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two applesauce bids with June and July 2026 closings; historical pricing at $21.84 per case suggests modest unit economics. Evaluations typically weight price heavily alongside compliance, vendor performance history, and delivery capability, with awards to single or multiple vendors on a line-item or lot basis. Buy American provisions and domestic-content preferences appear consistently across school district and state procurement. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions emerge as standard in the recent block.
