UNSPSC 50366005: Canned or jarred pink pomelo

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

UNSPSC 50366005 Canned or jarred pink pomelo (Commodity) shows minimal direct activity under its specific product name, but state and local governments are actively procuring preserved and canned fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and supplemental canned goods—through institutions ranging from state corrections departments and health and human services agencies to school districts and independent school systems. The work being bought includes bulk canned fruit for institutional food service, with purchases typically specified by USDA commodity standards, minimum shelf-life requirements, packed in juice or light syrup, and delivered on FOB destination terms to central warehouses or distribution centers. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school nutrition programs across multiple states, and state-supported living centers represent the primary buying base, with school districts emerging as frequent solicitors for shelf-stable fruit products to support child nutrition services alongside fresh produce and commodity staples.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school districts and state institutional food service providers representing the densest concentration of activity. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce in five full truckloads, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon goods and resident bidder preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million for institutional food service across multiple state facilities; and Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, sealed proposals) seeking fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. School nutrition programs in Fairfax County, Virginia; Rockwood and Liberty County school districts in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County and Hancock County schools in Georgia; and Dallas and Austin independent school districts in Texas have all posted recent competitive procurements for food products, fresh produce, and canned goods for the 2026–2027 school year, typically with response dates in late April through late June 2026 and contract periods running July 2026 through June 2027.
