UNSPSC 50367037: Canned or jarred tamarindo

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

UNSPSC 50367037 Canned or jarred tamarindo, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments rarely procure on its own; recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for tamarindo specifically, with the code appearing misaligned to actual purchasing patterns in the available records. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service procurement across institutional food programs rather than tamarindo products. State and local food service buyers—including departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and school districts—procure canned and processed fruit items as components of larger food service or commodity supply contracts, but the records show no instances of dedicated procurement focused on tamarindo as a standalone item.

The geographic spread of recent food service activity spans Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), indicating nationwide activity in institutional food procurement. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers, and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year due June 26, 2026. The code itself shows little relevant recent activity; procurement activity under food service codes reflects broad institutional demand for commodity foods, proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared items rather than specialty or regional products such as tamarindo. Business development professionals evaluating this code should watch for broader food service family-level codes or commodity-specific opportunities rather than expect sustained demand for this specific product.
