UNSPSC 50371704: Canned or jarred organic cavendish bananas

The variety of organic bananas known as organic cavendish bananas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50371704 Canned or jarred organic cavendish bananas is a Commodity code that captures institutional food service procurement for shelf-stable canned and jarred produce, though recent state and local opportunities show limited activity specifically targeted at organic cavendish bananas; instead, jurisdictions are soliciting canned and jarred fruit more broadly—including applesauce, mixed fruit, and specialty items—as line items within larger food and consumable product contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county social services. State and local buyers using this code include departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, school districts, county boards of education, and municipal nutrition centers. The work spans routine commodity food procurement with firm fixed pricing, delivery to central distribution points or facility warehouses, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards, and vendor qualification requirements including liability insurance, references, and performance history verification.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, both with ITB notice type), with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a five percent preference available for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based bidders. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF due May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items including canned fruits and vegetables for multiple warehouse locations across five geographic regions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and 210 line items including fresh, frozen, dry, and canned products. In Georgia, Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) including canned proteins and vegetables. The Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy has issued multiple weekly food-order solicitations on a quarterly cycle (27497DVAQUINCB52820 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751/53752, all June–August 2026 due dates) with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options. School districts including Austin ISD (27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education (SN002-2027 for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026) and municipalities like Bridgeport, Connecticut (BNB053266 for nutrition center commodities, due June 26, 2026) round out the issuing-body mix, with most opportunities subject to Buy American requirements and firm pricing through the contract term.
