UNSPSC 50365210: Canned or jarred wing-stemmed passion flower

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

UNSPSC 50365210 Canned or jarred wing-stemmed passion flower is a Commodity code with minimal recent procurement activity under its literal taxonomy heading; however, state and local food service operations—including corrections facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies—are actively procuring canned and preserved fruit products under nominally broader food codes that capture the actual buying pattern. The recent opportunities show state and local governments purchasing canned applesauce, canned pears, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and related food products for institutional meal service, warehouse supply, and nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and city school districts, and special-purpose food service cooperatives across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and other states. The work consists of firm-fixed-price supply contracts delivering food items on FOB destination terms, typically with annual contract periods, renewal options, and awards to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid or best value.

Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, five truckloads, due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including bread, dairy, frozen foods, and supplies for state hospitals and supported living centers, with maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (multiple weekly deliveries to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens, July 1, 2026 start), and multiple school district food service procurements across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Procurement volume in institutional food service remains robust, with most opportunities issued by school districts and state corrections or health agencies concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. Buy American and domestic-content requirements are standard, as are insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million commercial general liability), firm-fixed pricing for contract periods, and quarterly or as-needed delivery schedules. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear prominently in the recent block, though some districts reference M/WBE program participation and Texas SmartBuy administrative fees apply to certain awards.
