UNSPSC 50373700: Canned or jarred organic guavas

The type of organic fruit known as organic guavas that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373700 Canned or jarred organic guavas, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities show school districts, county boards of education, state correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and municipal departments purchasing broad categories of shelf-stable food products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, frozen proteins, grains, and general food service commodities—rather than the narrow commodity specified by the code name. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments, county school systems, county purchasing offices, municipal boards of education, and state-supported living centers across multiple states, with Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut represented in recent solicitations. The procurement methods employed include ITB, IFB, IWQ (informal written quote), and RFP, with response dates typically 7 to 30 days from posting and delivery requirements ranging from immediate to within 72 hours of order receipt.

Recent representative opportunities illustrate the actual scope: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, bids due July 31, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces under IWQ 140229 (quotes due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792v2 (response deadline March 19, 2026), encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids for 115 commodity line items to supply its Board of Education Nutrition Center (submissions due June 26, 2026). The code shows little activity aligned with its stated scope of organic guavas specifically.
