UNSPSC 50367016: Canned or jarred jackfruit

The type of fruit known as jackfruit that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367016 Canned or jarred jackfruit is a Commodity code that covers preserved fruit products, though recent state and local solicitations under this code actually procure canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodities rather than jackfruit specifically. The code reflects a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity, which centers on food products for institutional food service operations in corrections, education, health and human services, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Douglas County Schools), municipal departments (City of Bridgeport), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts and state health and corrections agencies dominate recent activity, soliciting commodity food products on annual or multi-year fixed-price term contracts with FOB-destination delivery to central warehouses or direct distribution to school sites and institutional facilities.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia, with particularly dense activity in Texas and Georgia school districts and state agencies. Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with proposals due July 16, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 (historical value $1.5 million annually); Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases BNB053266 for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic bids due June 26, 2026. Larger institutional procurements such as the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services anticipate approximately $9 million annual expenditure across 32 schools. Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing for the contract period, Buy American compliance where applicable, general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, FOB-destination delivery with all transportation prepaid, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and food safety standards. Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on a line-item basis to multiple vendors offering best value.
