UNSPSC 50371711: Canned or jarred organic mysore bananas

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

UNSPSC 50371711 Canned or jarred organic mysore bananas (Commodity) covers specialty preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show limited direct activity for organic bananas specifically. The scope of work state and local bodies actually buy under this tier spans shelf-stable fruit products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh and frozen produce, and broader commodity food procurement for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, health and human services centers, and food-service operations. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments, county boards of education and senior services, city school districts, state-operated veterans homes, state-supported living centers, and municipal school nutrition programs. The mix leans toward mid-sized to large institutional buyers with recurring, high-volume food service demand.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Southwest, with standout activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases) due July 31, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items) for school year 2026–27, due June 26, 2026. The code shows robust state and local procurement activity, though organic bananas as a named commodity rarely appear in posted solicitations; buyers typically procure broader fruit and commodity categories under brand-or-equal or brand-specific specifications with quarterly or annual contract terms.
