UNSPSC 50366904: Canned or jarred oratia red tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as oratia red tamarillo that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366904 Canned or jarred oratia red tamarillo is a Commodity code representing a single specialty canned fruit product type; however, state and local procurement activity under this code does not align closely with the nominal product specification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code actually procure broad food and consumable products for institutional food service—fresh produce, shelf-stable staples, proteins, dairy, frozen specialty items, and kitchen supplies—rather than the specific product name. The issuing bodies are school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and cities (City of Bridgeport). The work being solicited is food procurement for institutional food service—cafeterias, senior services, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and veterans homes—with vendors quoting on dozens or hundreds of line items, delivering to central distribution centers or facility-specific locations, and managing logistics on FOB destination terms with advance ordering systems.

Geographic activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut), Midwest (Illinois), Southwest (Texas, Oregon), with Texas and Illinois showing the most recent and frequent solicitation volume. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for Department of Community Services, RFQ, closed October 19, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017453 (4,760 cases of canned applesauce, ITB, closed July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical award), Texas Health and Human Services Commission HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB, historical value $1.5 million for the prior contract year), and City of Bridgeport BNB053266 (115 line items of food commodities for Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, IFB, closed June 26, 2026 with Buy American provisions and MBE/CBE applicability). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy awarded multiple quarters of weekly food orders under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications in the June through August 2026 window. The code shows active institutional food service procurement but limited specificity to the canned tamarillo product itself, suggesting either a misclassification in source data or minimal direct procurement under this narrow Commodity designation.
