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 that encompasses shelf-stable fruit products, primarily canned applesauce and dried fruit offerings, procured by state and local food-service operations including corrections departments, veterans homes, school districts, and social-service agencies. The recent opportunities block shows little activity directly matching organic saba bananas; instead, state and local agencies are sourcing a broader range of canned and processed fruits—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps—as components of larger food-commodity contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education, city procurement offices, and independent school districts, indicating demand across both adult and youth institutional feeding programs.

Recent procurement activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with a historical award price near $21.84 per case to prior vendors including Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including apples and berries for school year 2026–27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), while Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable foods including canned items (due October 19, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers, with contract values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year periods. Illinois continues to solicit weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Buyers commonly require FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity standards and Buy American provisions where applicable, general commercial liability insurance between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and firm pricing for initial contract terms with adjustments tied to Consumer Price Index or manufacturer price-list changes.
