UNSPSC 50365903: Canned or jarred jolly red pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50365903 Canned or jarred jolly red pomegranates is a Commodity code that in practice covers a far broader set of canned and processed fruit products than the nominal code name suggests. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and miscellaneous food service consumables—typically sourced for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and other institutional food service operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, appearing across multiple recent opportunities alongside state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, and county boards of education. The work being solicited ranges from single-commodity purchases of canned applesauce or fresh produce through comprehensive annual grocery and food-supply agreements spanning hundreds of line items across protein, dairy, produce, grain, and prepared-food categories.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, and Virginia posted the most recent activity under this code between January and July 2026. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations and bids due June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, and a prior-period expenditure baseline of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with sealed bids due April 27, 2026, requiring bidders to serve 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing for contract terms, and compliance with USDA commodity standards and nutritional requirements appear consistently across these opportunities; state and local vendors applying the Oregon 10% Oregon-preference and Texas HUB subcontracting encouragement where stated, though no universal set-asides restrict participation.
