UNSPSC 50365602: Canned or jarred golden pineapple

The variety of pineapples known as golden pineapple that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365602 Canned or jarred golden pineapple is a Commodity code that sees modest state and local procurement activity centered on school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and state health and human services facilities purchasing canned fruit products as part of broader food service contracts. State and local governments buy canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and other preserved fruit items under this code, primarily as components of meal programs rather than as standalone line items, with purchasing bodies spanning school districts, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Hancock County Schools), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county education systems (Douglas County, Muscogee County). These jurisdictions solicit under cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct RFP/IFB processes, with school nutrition programs representing the largest share of recent activity.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026) at a historical unit price of $21.84 per case, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 seeking food and consumable products including canned fruits for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. School districts dominate the pipeline with multi-year RFP cycles; for example, Douglas County School System's fresh-produce and food-distribution RFPs (February–March 2026) combined estimated annual spend of roughly $13.1 million across 30 participating districts in Georgia's GEC Buying Cooperative. Canned or jarred fruit items typically compete as commodity line items within larger food supply contracts rather than as standalone solicitations, with Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, and firm fixed pricing prevalent across opportunities.
