UNSPSC 50371714: Canned or jarred organic saba bananas

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

UNSPSC 50371714 Canned or jarred organic saba bananas is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within food procurement. State and local governments buying under this code source canned and jarred fruit products—principally applesauce, pears, and other shelf-stable fruit items—for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state health and human services institutions, and food service operations. The recent opportunities reveal that issuers are predominantly state departments of corrections, school districts (K-12 and special education), state health and human services commissions operating state hospitals and supported living centers, and county boards of education. The issuing-body mix spans state-level procurement offices (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county and independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Dallas Independent School District), and municipal education agencies (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts represent the dominant share of recent activity, reflecting ongoing nutrition program demand across school years running July through June.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple school districts and HHSC facilities), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Illinois (state-level procurement). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 (historical award at $21.84 per case), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps closed July 16, 2026. Pricing in recent solicitations reflects firm, fixed-unit quotes on an FOB destination basis with transportation prepaid by vendor, and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products are standard across school district procurements. Most contracts run 12 months with options for renewal, and awards typically go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders meeting specification compliance, though some jurisdictions allocate line items across multiple vendors based on best value.
