UNSPSC 50374404: Canned or jarred organic dancy tangerines

The variety of organic mandarin oranges and tangerines known as organic dancy tangerines that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374404 Canned or jarred organic dancy tangerines is a Commodity code that encompasses preserved citrus fruits and related shelf-stable produce items purchased by state and local food-service operations, particularly for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and senior services. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying this code as part of broader food-supply contracts spanning canned fruits, vegetables, proteins, and consumables rather than as standalone citrus procurements. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), city school boards (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county senior services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). The code sees regular activity across food-service contracts that bundle canned and preserved fruits with other shelf-stable items under IFB, RFQ, and RFP notice types.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including citrus varieties (bids due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB053266 for commodities including fruit products for school nutrition (submissions due June 26, 2026). These procurements typically require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), USDA commodity or grade standards, firm fixed pricing including delivery on FOB destination terms, and proof of commercial general liability insurance. Contracts generally run 12 months with optional renewal periods, and awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value basis at the issuing agency's discretion.
