UNSPSC 50371707: Canned or jarred organic gros michel bananas

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

UNSPSC 50371707 Canned or jarred organic Gros Michel bananas (Commodity) appears rarely in recent state and local procurement activity; the code does not align with the scope of opportunities currently being solicited under it. Recent postings tagged to this code instead reflect broad food-service purchasing for shelf-stable products, fresh produce, canned fruits including applesauce, and facility food supply contracts—none of which specifically name canned or jarred organic bananas as a line item. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, city nutrition centers, and county purchasing offices procuring food for corrections facilities, schools, senior services, veterans' homes, and state-supported living centers. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit canned or jarred bananas as a deliverable.

Activity under codes associated with general food procurement is distributed across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two Invitations to Bid (ITB S-29100-00017453 and ITB S2910000016975) for canned applesauce in July 2026 and May 2026 respectively, both soliciting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with responses due at 9:00 a.m. PST on June 2 and July 31, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide in May 2026 (IFB HHS0016792v2) with a due date of March 19, 2026 and a potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million; the State of Illinois has posted multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications since June 2026; and Gwinnett County, Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted food procurement RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs since May 2026. The code itself shows little relevant recent activity—vendors should monitor related family-level codes for actual opportunities in shelf-stable food products and canned fruits.
