A variety of organic mandarin orange that is grown around the mediterranean and in south africa with a a deep reddish orange color and few seeds that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374402 Canned or jarred organic clementine tangerines is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrow slice of state and local food procurement — primarily shelf-stable and canned fruit items purchased by corrections agencies, state health and human services facilities, school districts, and county nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope is organic clementines in cans or jars, but the recent opportunities block shows state and local buyers soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce broadly, and mixed commodity food lots that span proteins, vegetables, and processed items. The mismatch between the code name and the actual opportunities suggests this code sees minimal targeted use for the specific product named; buyers instead route organic citrus and mixed fruit procurement through broader commodity or food-service codes. School districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and municipal nutrition centers form the primary issuing-body mix, with repeat activity from the State of Illinois (two Illinois Veterans Home solicitations), the Oregon Department of Corrections (two applesauce ITBs), and Georgia and Texas state agencies.

Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Recent opportunities are posted from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Arizona (no specific location named in the Texas HHS El Paso posting). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces, quotes due October 19, 2026, IWQ 140229); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce across five truck loads (bids due July 31, 2026, historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items including fresh, frozen, and dry products, bid deadline March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). None of the recent opportunities explicitly target organic clementines as a named line item.
