UNSPSC 50373306: Canned or jarred organic rio red grapefruit

The variety of organic grapefruit known as organic rio red grapefruit that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373306 Canned or jarred organic rio red grapefruit (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local procurement offices buy primarily for food-service operations at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county community services departments. The code sees active solicitation across corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county boards of education, typically bundled with broader food-commodity RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs rather than as standalone line items. Scope encompasses canned applesauce, canned mixed fruits, and related preserved fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications, packed in juice, water, or light syrup, with firm shelf-life requirements and delivery to institutional distribution centers or central warehouses on FOB Destination terms. Pricing is quoted per case or per unit of measure and held firm for the contract period unless explicitly adjusted per CPI formulas or approved price-list changes.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food procurement and HHSC supplemental food solicitations), and Georgia (Gwinnett County IFB in October 2026 and State of Georgia food-and-kitchen-products RFP in May 2026), with secondary activity in Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with 210 line items and a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years (response deadline March 19, 2026); and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned goods delivered to the Senior Services Center (due October 19, 2026). Preference programs vary by jurisdiction—Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based bidders, while school districts and public entities enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products.
