UNSPSC 50373307: Canned or jarred organic ruby red grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50373307 Canned or jarred organic ruby red grapefruit is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned fruit products—including applesauce, pears, and other shelf-stable fruit in juice or syrup—primarily for institutional food service in corrections facilities, schools, and health and human services agencies. The recent opportunities show that actual purchasing diverges from the code's nominal focus on organic grapefruit; state and local bodies are instead buying generic canned fruit, dried fruit products, and fresh produce as part of comprehensive food supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts of varying size (from independent districts to large county systems), and special-purpose district entities. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County) appear repeatedly as active buyers in recent months. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—particularly Georgia—and in Texas and Oregon, with additional activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, supplemented by state agency food service operations.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, applying a combined 10% state-preference marking (5% for Oregon goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and requiring FOB destination pricing at approximately $21.84 per case historically; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, and 393 with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and contract awards based on best value rather than lowest price; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of approximately $9,000,000, proposals due February 18, 2026, and evaluation weighted 50 points for experience, 60 for operations, and 80 for price; and multiple school district produce and grocery contracts (Hancock County IFB #SN002-2027, Liberty County IFB for food with bids due April 29, 2026, Savannah-Chatham County Bid 26-34 for fresh produce with bids due April 23, 2026) requiring Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, and firm pricing throughout the contract term.
