UNSPSC 50374003: Canned or jarred organic long fruit kumquats

The variety of organic kumquats known as organic long fruit kumquats that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374003 Canned or jarred organic long fruit kumquats (Commodity) does not reflect the actual activity state and local governments are soliciting under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to the code cover a broad range of shelf-stable food products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and general food commodities — but include no solicitations for organic kumquats specifically. The code's nominal scope is so narrow that it does not capture the purchasing pattern on the ground. State and local buyers are using this code to solicit multiple food categories for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers, suggesting either a cataloging mismatch or a code that has been repurposed to cover general preserved fruits and related food items. The issuing bodies include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), counties (Gwinnett County), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport).

Recent opportunities span multiple states, with notable activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes 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, via IFB; Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, USDA 2011 commodity specification) due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and 5% Oregon preference; Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids on supplemental food and consumables (210 line items including fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products) for state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and the State of Illinois soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases, with proposals due August 24, 2026. Buy American provisions are standard across school district and USDA-regulated procurements.
