UNSPSC 50372600: Canned or jarred organic citrons

The type of organic fruit known as organic citrons that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50372600 Canned or jarred organic citrons, a Class code, captures state and local procurement of processed fruit products for institutional food service — in practice, the category spans canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, canned pears, and similar shelf-stable fruit items purchased by correctional facilities, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and other food-service operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies managing institutional meal programs; among recent opportunities, the Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers of canned fruit products, alongside multiple school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and other states. Work under this code centers on supply of branded or commodity canned and jarred fruit products meeting USDA specifications, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, and delivery of multi-case quantities to central warehouses or school nutrition centers on firm fixed-price contracts, typically with annual performance periods and renewal options.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) seeking 4,760 cases of canned applesauce in five truckloads at $21.84 per case with 5 percent Oregon-goods and 5 percent resident-bidder preferences; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned fruit for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with an historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of fresh and processed produce including citrus fruits for school nutrition. Contracts typically demand FOB Destination pricing with all transportation prepaid, one-year shelf-life minimums, firm-fixed pricing for the contract term, compliance with federal food-safety standards, and commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence.
