UNSPSC 50371710: Canned or jarred organic manzano bananas

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

UNSPSC 50371710 Canned or jarred organic manzano bananas is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service and nutrition programs, though recent state and local solicitations under this code predominantly reflect broader procurement for canned and jarred fruits, processed produce, and mixed food commodities rather than exclusively organic manzano bananas. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code span school districts, county boards of education, corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and municipal nutrition programs. The work is highly fragmented across institutional food suppliers serving detention facilities, long-term care, educational settings, and community support programs. Vendors typically respond to IFB, RFP, and informal quote requests with firm, fixed unit pricing inclusive of transportation and delivery to designated warehouse or facility locations. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (commonly 51 percent for processed products) and brand-or-equal specification options appear frequently. Delivery requirements emphasize FOB Destination with prepaid freight, compliance with USDA commodity or grade standards, minimum shelf-life commitments (commonly one year), and palletized shipment to central distribution centers or facility locations within specified timeframes (45 to 72 hours to 60 days depending on order urgency).

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026), each for approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases, with five percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences and historical pricing near $21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution zones (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center covering 115 line items with MBE/CBE certification options (due June 26, 2026).

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (June and August 2026). Activity reflects steady institutional demand with Q2 and Q3 2026 concentration, firm fixed pricing models, and common award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders with volume and term flexibility retained by buyers.
