UNSPSC 50365604: Canned or jarred kona sugarloaf pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50365604 Canned or jarred kona sugarloaf pineapple is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of canned and jarred fruit products than the code name suggests—state and local governments are actively procuring canned applesauce, canned pears, and other shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies (departments of corrections, health and human services commissions) managing food service operations for large populations. Recent solicitations show straightforward procurement patterns: sealed bids or RFPs for canned fruit products delivered FOB destination to central warehouses or distribution centers, with firm fixed pricing per case or unit, delivery windows of 45–60 days or longer, and typical shelf-life requirements of one year or more. Bidders must maintain general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence) and comply with USDA commodity standards and Buy American provisions where applicable.

The code shows significant recent activity concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026 (bids due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case, with a 10% combined Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference; an earlier ODOC ITB (S2910000016975, posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026) procured 1,904 cases of canned applesauce at approximately $21.83 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 and its addendum (HHS0016792V2) for supplemental food and consumables including canned fruits and vegetables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with an estimated three-year value of $4.5 million. School districts in Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD) are active in fresh produce and specialty food procurement, though canned fruit specifically appears most heavily in correctional and state institutional food service. The code shows steady, recurring demand from state departments of corrections and health agencies, with school nutrition programs typically purchasing fresh produce over canned goods.
