UNSPSC 50374403 Canned or jarred organic cleopatra mandarin oranges is a Commodity code capturing shelf-stable citrus products state and local governments procure for institutional food service — specifically preserved mandarin oranges in cans or jars. Recent solicitations show the code sits within broader procurement activity for packaged food items across multiple facility types: correctional institutions, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services. State and local buyers treat this code as part of large-scale, multi-line-item food commodity buys where individual shelf-stable items compete on unit price, compliance with USDA grades or federal commodity standards, delivery performance, and brand-or-equal substitution acceptability. The issuing bodies are mixed: state procurement offices (Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and municipal purchasing departments. School nutrition programs and state institutional facilities (prisons, veterans homes, supported living centers) are the dominant end-users captured in recent opportunities under this code family.
