UNSPSC 50372602: Canned or jarred organic fingered citrons

The variety of organic citrons known as organic fingered citrons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50372602 Canned or jarred organic fingered citrons (Commodity) sees little recent activity under its precise code designation; the recent opportunities tagged to it encompass a much broader range of canned and fresh produce, shelf-stable food products, and institutional food service commodities that fall outside the narrow scope of organic citron preserves. State and local governments do procure canned fruits, jarred products, and fresh citrus through institutional food service contracts, but the sample of recent solicitations shows demand concentrated in fresh produce, general canned vegetables and fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed commodity food bundles for schools, corrections facilities, and social services agencies rather than specialty canned or jarred citrons. The issuing bodies span county school districts, state agencies (corrections, health and human services), city boards of education, and county departments of community services, with procurement notices running across RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB formats.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with visible recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin Independent School District), Illinois (state procurement office), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (due August 24, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce bids under ITB S-29100-00017453 totaling 4,760 cases (due July 31, 2026). The code itself shows negligible recent procurement activity specific to organic citron preserves; vendors in specialty or organic preserved fruit should not expect primary opportunities under this code in state and local markets based on current solicitation patterns.
