UNSPSC 50365606: Canned or jarred pernambuco pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50365606 Canned or jarred pernambuco pineapple is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products across a broad range of food service applications, as evidenced by recent solicitations that predominantly tag applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce under related codes despite the nominal pineapple designation. State and local governments purchasing under this code tier include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), and county boards of education (Muscogee County School District). The scope of work spans canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, and related items—procured for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, institutional food service, and school nutrition programs, with products typically specified to meet USDA commodity grades, FDA standards, Buy American Act requirements, and school nutrition program nutritional guidelines limiting artificial colors, flavors, and additives.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois showing multiple recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Invitation to Bid S2910000017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026), with pricing quoted per case including all transportation on an FOB destination basis and an Oregon goods preference of up to 10 percent; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Invitation for Bid HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables including 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned products for state hospitals and supported living centers (original response deadline February 23, 2026, extended from February 16); and the Austin Independent School District Request for Proposal 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (response due July 16, 2026). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting ongoing child nutrition program demand; state facilities and institutional food services represent a secondary but consistent stream. Bid pricing for comparable items (Oregon applesauce) has historically ranged near $21.84 per case, with contracts awarded on lowest responsive and responsible bidder basis and firm fixed-price terms for multi-year periods.
