UNSPSC 50365608: Canned or jarred smooth cayenne pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50365608 Canned or jarred smooth cayenne pineapple is a Commodity code that in practice sees state and local procurement activity dominated by broader food-service contracting for institutional dining — canned fruit, applesauce, and processed produce items supplied to correctional facilities, schools, and health-care institutions on firm-fixed-price delivery contracts. Recent opportunities under this code and closely related fruit commodity codes show procurement officers at state corrections departments, school districts, and health-and-human-services agencies buying canned and processed fruit products in case quantities (typically 40,000–50,000-pound truckloads) to support central distribution and cafeteria operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) seeking approximately 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing, requiring delivery to Salem with FOB destination terms and Oregon-good preferences totaling up to 10 percent. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) encompasses food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, while a separate HHSC IFB (HHS0016792, updated February 2026) covers 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables including canned goods and prepared items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments, school nutrition programs (including Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and others), and city boards of education; school districts dominate recent activity, with procurement conducted via IFB and RFP using cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative and online portals including OregonBuys, OpenGov, and district Bonfire instances.

Activity concentrates in Oregon (Department of Corrections repeat buyer), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts including Liberty County, Muscogee County, Hancock County, and the Douglas County cooperative), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), with school-nutrition procurement the most frequent use case. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products covering multiple NIGP item classes for the El Paso facility (due July 13, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear across school-district and state procurement. Contractors must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1 million or higher per occurrence, quote firm-fixed prices including all transportation and fuel charges on FOB destination terms, and comply with USDA commodity specifications and FDA/USDA food-safety standards; payment terms typically run Net 30–45 days, and contracts commonly include renewal options spanning three to five years with price adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or manufacturer price documentation.
