UNSPSC 50374407: Canned or jarred organic fallglo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374407 Canned or jarred organic fallglo oranges is a Commodity code that in practice describes shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations—school districts, corrections departments, state-supported living centers, senior services programs, and veterans homes. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers under this code procure a broader range of canned fruit than the code name suggests: applesauce dominates the recent record, but opportunities also include canned mixed fruits, citrus products, and other shelf-stable preserved fruit items specified to meet USDA commodity or grade standards. Purchasing bodies span state corrections systems, state health and human services agencies operating institutional facilities, county and municipal food service operations, independent school districts, and state veterans homes. The work involves competitive sealed bidding or informal written quotation processes, with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit or per-case basis, sometimes with allowances for Oregon or domestic-production preferences where state law applies.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, driven by recent Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce procurements (ITBs S-29100-00017453 and S-29100-00016975, posted May–July 2026 with five-percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences), Texas Health and Human Services Commission food-and-consumables contracts serving state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas (IFBs HHS0017449 and HHS0016792V2, posted May–June 2026), Georgia state procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, posted May 2026), Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders (brand-specific and brand-or-equal solicitations, posted June–August 2026), and school district produce and food-service procurements in Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, posted June–October 2026) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education, posted June 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria-food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) and Austin Independent School District dried-fruit procurement (27RFP004, posted June 2026) round out the geographic footprint. Most recent opportunities carry response deadlines between May and October 2026; the Gwinnett County informal written quote (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026 remains open.
