UNSPSC 50366002: Canned or jarred hirado buntan pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as hirado buntan pomelo that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366002 Canned or jarred hirado buntan pomelo is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products, though recent solicitations show the category encompasses broader canned fruit items beyond the specific pomelo reference in the code name. State and local governments procure canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, and other shelf-stable fruit products primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, school districts (independent, county, and regional), and special-purpose boards of education across multiple states. The work involves competitive bidding for bulk fruit supplies delivered on fixed or as-needed schedules, with firm pricing and compliance to USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions, and detailed nutritional or storage requirements. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewals, and vendors must maintain substantial commercial general liability insurance (commonly $1 million per occurrence minimum) and submit compliance certifications including debarment status and work authorization verification.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based vendors.
