UNSPSC 50373300: Canned or jarred organic grapefruit

A large citrus fruit with a bitter yellow rind and inner skin and a highly flavored somewhat acid juicy pulp produced by a small roundheaded tree (citrus paradisi) that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373300 Canned or jarred organic grapefruit, a Class code, encompasses shelf-stable, packaged fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — schools, corrections facilities, senior centers, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations show purchasing focused on canned fruit more broadly, including applesauce and mixed canned fruit and vegetable assortments, often specified with USDA commodity standards compliance and flexibility for brand-or-equal substitutions. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices (Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), independent school districts (Austin ISD), state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), municipal procurement bureaus (City of Bridgeport), and specialized agencies serving corrections and health services. School nutrition programs and corrections departments appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations.

The code shows activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest — Georgia, Texas, and Illinois appear in multiple recent opportunities — with additional activity in Oregon and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables and proteins) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections posting an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; Texas HHSC issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and canned products statewide with a maximum potential three-year value of $4,500,000 and response due March 19, 2026; and Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Most procurements use sealed-bid or RFP methods with F.O.B. destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with Buy American provisions or USDA commodity standards where applicable.
