UNSPSC 50365603: Canned or jarred hilo pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50365603 Canned or jarred hilo pineapple is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity maps primarily to canned and jarred fruit products more broadly—applesauce, pears, and other canned fruits packed in juice, water, or light syrup to USDA commodity specifications. State and local governments buy under this code chiefly through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and institutional food service operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, soliciting fresh and processed fruit for child nutrition programs; state departments of corrections and health and human services issue parallel procurement for institutional feeding. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers within the recent window.

Opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026), with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and deliveries in five truckloads of roughly 40,000 pounds each to the Central Distribution Center in Salem. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide under IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, with the latter covering food products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and allied Department of State Health Services facilities. School districts across Georgia (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education) issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, dried fruit, and processed fruit items; the Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative encompassed approximately 72 produce line items across two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated annual spending around $5.5 million combined. Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly food orders with brand-specific requirements. Buy American requirements appear consistently across school district solicitations, typically mandating a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. Pricing in recent awards has been firm fixed for contract periods ranging from one to three years, with most school districts and agencies requiring FOB destination delivery prepaid and inclusive of all transportation and fuel surcharges.
