UNSPSC 50373702: Canned or jarred organic carrley guavas

The variety of organic guavas known as organic carrley guavas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373702 Canned or jarred organic parsley guavas, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead cover broad food-service procurement—shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce, dried fruit, frozen applesauce, and mixed food-and-consumables packages—with no meaningful mention of canned or jarred guavas, organic or otherwise. The code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity show a significant mismatch; the taxonomy entry appears to be either a data error in the source system or a misclassification at the point of opportunity posting. The buying parties include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, city school districts, and county senior-services departments. Work solicited ranges from large-scale annual or quarterly food-service contracts for institutional dining (prisons, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, school cafeterias) to event-based purchasing of shelf-stable items for community programs. Most opportunities specify brand-or-equal options, USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing per unit, and FOB Destination delivery with charges prepaid by the vendor.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026 under IWQ 140229; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December 2026, posted August 19, 2026, under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFP terms; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including proteins, dairy, frozen specialties, and consumable supplies) with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026. The code shows no meaningful recent procurement volume or frequency aligned with its stated taxonomy name.
