UNSPSC 50371700: Canned or jarred organic bananas

An elongated usually tapering tropical fruit with soft pulpy flesh enclosed in a soft usually yellow rind produced by any of several widely cultivated perennial herbs (genus musa of the family musaceae, the banana family) that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50371700 Canned or jarred organic bananas (Class) does not match the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The sourced opportunities span generic food service commodity procurement—canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and mixed food supplies—but none are identified as organic bananas. State and local purchasing bodies tagging these items to the code appear to be using the UNSPSC taxonomy at higher aggregation levels without fidelity to the specific organic-banana commodity specification. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope.

Recent activity under this code consists of food service sourcing from school districts, state corrections and health agencies, county government, and municipal nutrition centers across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, and leafy greens, due June 26, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB for canned applesauce, 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing, due July 31, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB for food and consumables to state supported living centers statewide, $1.5 million historical value, due July 13, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the City of Bridgeport also posted commodity food procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections agencies, state health and human services departments, and school districts. Because the code itself does not reflect what is actually being bought, a business development professional treating this as an organic-banana category would find minimal relevant recent pipeline.
