UNSPSC 50373703: Canned or jarred organic lucida guavas

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

UNSPSC 50373703 Canned or jarred organic lucida guavas is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not actually solicit lucida guavas or specialty organic preserved fruits. Instead, the code is being applied to broad institutional food procurement by school districts, county governments, state departments, and corrections and health agencies purchasing shelf-stable and fresh produce, canned proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, and pantry staples for cafeterias, senior services, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation or inconsistent application of this commodity classification across jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Texas), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-level purchasing divisions on behalf of corrections and health agencies.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Illinois, and Oregon. 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, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with deliveries to Salem, Oregon, bids due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historically (ITB S-29100-00017453); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, specialty fruits) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 for school year 2026–27 (IFB #SN002-2027); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, 210 line items, responses due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years (HHS0016792V2). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed foods appear in school district solicitations; prevailing wage and insurance requirements (typically $1 million general liability) are standard in state agency procurements. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days, and contract periods commonly span one year with optional renewal terms of one to two years.
