UNSPSC 50367000: Canned or jarred nominant fruits

Fruit types that belong to no other class and have no other fruit commodities related to them that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367000 Canned or jarred nominant fruits, a Class code, covers shelf-stable packaged fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service, nutrition programs, and institutional dining operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, canned fruit in juice or syrup, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps for Department of Corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services programs, school nutrition operations, and state veterans' homes. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), and city agencies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The code draws activity across multiple jurisdictions but shows the heaviest recent concentration in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications) with bids due July 31, 2026, offering Oregon-fabricated goods and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent each; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins, with quotes due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items including canned fruit, vegetables, and other products) with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years to supply state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide. State and local buyers on this code emphasize USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, domestic sourcing preferences where applicable under federal school lunch provisions, and rapid turnaround on orders.
