UNSPSC 50366902: Canned or jarred bold gold tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as bold gold tamarillo that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366902 Canned or jarred bold gold tamarillo, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; state and local governments are soliciting canned and jarred fruit products under this code, but the actual purchases span a much broader range of canned produce, canned applesauce, fresh and frozen fruit, dried fruit bars, and general food service commodities rather than the tamarillo variety the code names. School districts, state departments, and correctional facilities dominate the issuing bodies, with repeat buyers including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations procuring canned fruit applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District, RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and broader grocery and food supply contracts that include canned goods alongside fresh and frozen items as part of master food service procurement vehicles.

Geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and Virginia, with the most recent activity concentrated in school nutrition programs across the Southeast (Georgia school districts, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools) and institutional food service for state-supported living centers and correctional facilities. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's call for supplemental food and consumable products (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) at an estimated $1.5 million annual value for the prior period, the Douglas County School System's procurement of fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas, and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The code itself appears to be a misclassification for actual state and local food procurement activity—the opportunities routinely bid under it target institutional food service supply across multiple product categories rather than specialty tamarillo products, suggesting the code may see light utilization relative to the broader food commodities taxonomy or that vendors should monitor higher-tier food codes (Family or Class) for more representative school nutrition and institutional food service opportunities.
