UNSPSC 50373308: Canned or jarred organic star ruby grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50373308 Canned or jarred organic star ruby grapefruit, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct activity in state and local procurement, though the recent opportunities block reflects broader canned and jarred fruit buying patterns that subsume this specific product line. State and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products — applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruit — primarily for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County in Georgia), city school systems (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), and county boards of education (Douglas County School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia). School nutrition programs and state-operated facilities represent the primary buyers; repeat solicitation activity is heavy in Georgia and Missouri school districts, and Texas health and human services agencies issue frequent RFPs and ITBs for food service procurement.

Representative recent activity includes Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (a functionally similar preserved fruit product), due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent Oregon preference (5 percent for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders); Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruits for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior annual period; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, and citrus fruits, due June 26, 2026, serving three delivery locations across the 2026-27 school year. The code shows strongest recent activity in Georgia and Texas school districts and Texas health and human services procurement; Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut also post regularly. Canned fruit procurement is typically embedded within larger food service contracts as one line item among dozens or hundreds, with firm fixed pricing quoted per case or unit, delivery to central warehouses or school sites on F.O.B. destination terms with transportation prepaid by the vendor, and Buy American compliance requirements in school nutrition contexts.
