UNSPSC 50366003: Canned or jarred liang ping yau pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as liang ping yau pomelo that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366003 Canned or jarred liang ping yau pomelo is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable preserved fruit and fruit products purchased by state and local governments for food service operations, senior nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and school cafeterias. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring a broad range of canned and jarred fruit items—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh and processed produce, and other shelf-stable food commodities—typically through informal quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (ITB), or requests for proposals (RFP). Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), city nutrition services (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center), county social services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and school districts (Austin Independent School District). Scope varies from single-category buys (canned applesauce for ODOC) to broad commodity packages spanning 115+ line items including eggs, poultry, dairy, proteins, and vegetables. Most solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), USDA commodity or grade specifications, delivery within 45–72 hours or specified windows, and firm fixed pricing for the contract term.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Illinois). The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued repeated applesauce ITBs (May 2026 and July 2026, both due within 45 days of posting), with historical awards to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales at approximately $21.83–$21.85 per case for 1,904–4,760 cases. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food-order RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026, brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants), due within five days of posting. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide IFB for 210-line-item supplemental food and consumables (due March 19, 2026, estimated value up to $4.5 million over three years) and a second IFB for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually). Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food (35 line items, due October 19, 2026, delivery by December 7). School districts and city nutrition centers (Hancock County, Austin ISD, Bridgeport) issue annual produce and commodity RFPs and IFBs for contract periods running through June 30 of the following year. Pricing is evaluated on per-unit or per-ounce bases; awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, though best-value considerations and past-performance ratings apply in multi-item procurements. Most require commercial general liability insurance ($500,000–$2,000,000 per occurrence), three-year record retention, and compliance with state worker-verification and prompt-payment statutes.
