UNSPSC 50367005: Canned or jarred bitter oranges

The type of fruit known as bitter oranges that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367005 Canned or jarred bitter oranges is a Commodity code that describes processed fruit products state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code show only tangential alignment with the code's nominal scope—most opportunities tagged to it involve canned applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce, and broad grocery categories rather than bitter oranges specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia Department of Education), and a municipal board (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). School district nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, purchasing grocery items and prepared foods for cafeteria service; state correctional and health agencies purchase canned and processed fruits for institutional meal preparation. Issuing bodies apply Buy American and domestic-content preferences where applicable, enforce USDA and FDA compliance, and include prevailing wage and insurance requirements typical of public food procurement.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with heaviest recent activity in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Texas Comptroller) and Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (Fruit Applesauce), due July 31, 2026, requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (Dried Fruit Bars and Apple Crisps), due July 16, 2026, for food service delivery to the central warehouse; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (Food and Consumable Products for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), due July 13, 2026, covering food and consumable products under NIGP classes with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (Fresh Produce), due June 26, 2026, specifies over 200 line items of fresh produce with Buy American 51 percent domestic-content requirements for processed products and delivery to three school sites. The code shows active solicitation activity but lacks concentration in canned bitter oranges—opportunities are fragmented across food categories, institutional types, and geographic jurisdictions, with most volume in school nutrition and corrections food service.
