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 (Commodity) covers preserved citrus and specialty fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, but recent activity under this code shows minimal purchasing aligned to the nominal scope—instead, state and local buyers are soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broad-based food and consumable products that fall outside the code's narrow organic tangerine specification. School districts, state correctional and health agencies, and state procurement offices are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response deadline July 31, 2026) with a combined 10 percent Oregon goods and resident bidder preference and a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide under IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026) encompassing 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products (posted April 6, 2026, response due April 27, 2026) to supply 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, requiring bidders to demonstrate three years of business and food delivery experience.

The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal definition (organic canned tangerines) and actual procurement activity. Of the fourteen recent opportunities listed, none specifically target canned or jarred organic dancy tangerines; instead, issuing bodies are buying general canned fruit, fresh produce, dried fruit products, and integrated food service bundles that span proteins, dairy, grains, and consumables. School districts dominate the recent solicitation activity (Fairfax County, Austin ISD, Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Dallas ISD, and Rockwood R-VI), supplemented by state corrections departments (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), state health agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO), and the City of Bridgeport. Geographic concentration spans Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and statewide solicitation), Texas (Austin ISD, TDCJ, HHSC, Dallas ISD), and Oregon (ODOC), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. If your firm pursues contracts under this code, expect to compete on institutional food supply across school nutrition programs and state facility food service rather than on specialty preserved citrus—the code's nominal definition does not reflect actual buying patterns in the market today.
