UNSPSC 50366905: Canned or jarred red beau tamarillo

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

UNSPSC 50366905 Canned or jarred red bean tamarillo, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct activity under its specific nominal description; state and local procurement activity in this category space centers instead on broadly similar preserved fruit and vegetable products — canned applesauce, canned pears, and dried fruit items — that state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and health and human services facilities procure for institutional food service. The issuing-body mix reflects the institutional nutrition-service corridor: state corrections systems (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Human Services), and special-purpose cooperative buying groups (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate solicitations for canned applesauce in May 2026 (ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2) and July 2026 (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Oregon Department of Corrections is soliciting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce for delivery to Salem, Oregon, under ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST), with a 10 percent combined state preference (5 percent Oregon-fabricated goods, 5 percent Oregon headquarters), prior award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case, and FOB destination pricing with first delivery within 60 days and remaining truck loads 45 days apart. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is bidding supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide under multiple IFBs with maximum potential values reaching $4.5 million over three years. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and Dallas Independent School District issued RFP JC250079 (due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spice and ice cream lots to the Food & Child Nutrition Services warehouse. School districts across Georgia and Missouri regularly procure preserved and fresh produce through standard IFB and RFP vehicles, with Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools all issuing overlapping fresh produce and canned goods solicitations in the February-through-June 2026 window. Cooperative purchasing through the GEC Buying Cooperative allows individual districts to aggregate demand; the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) serves 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two).
