UNSPSC 50365901: Canned or jarred foothill pomegranates

The variety of pomegranates known as foothill pomegranates that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365901 Canned or jarred foothill pomegranates (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity focused on canned fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities show no actual pomegranate solicitations—instead, the code tags purchases of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader food supply contracts spanning multiple preserved and fresh fruit categories. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county board of education nutrition programs across multiple states. The work being solicited covers institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and K-12 school nutrition programs, with products delivered in bulk quantities (cases and truckloads) under FOB destination or prepaid delivery terms, firm fixed pricing for contract periods typically running one to two years, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications, FDA standards, Buy American provisions, and minimum shelf-life requirements.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in the South and Upper Midwest: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case (historical award to Robbins Sales), with delivery to Salem within 60 days and four additional truckloads 45 days apart; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to the central warehouse; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly food orders in June 2026 with brand-specific requirements under standard state contracting terms. Multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Florida issued IFBs and RFPs from February through June 2026 for fresh produce and food products, with contract values ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $9 million annually and coverage spanning individual elementary and secondary schools as well as state institutional facilities. The code shows steady, fragmented demand across state corrections, state health and human services, and school nutrition programs rather than concentration in any single jurisdiction or region.
