UNSPSC 50374411: Canned or jarred organic golden nugget oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374411 Canned or jarred organic golden nugget oranges is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of processed citrus products, though recent state and local solicitations show activity centered on broader shelf-stable food procurement rather than organic citrus specifically. State and local agencies—including school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state-supported living centers, and county purchasing offices—solicit canned and jarred fruit products as part of large-scale food service contracting for nutrition programs, institutional feeding, and emergency food supply. The scope spans institutional food service operations: agencies buy canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh and frozen produce, and mixed commodity lots that often include canned fruit. Issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state corrections and health facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and municipal food service departments. Procurement vehicles include ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quotes, with awards typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case) with bids due July 31, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce and related items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, for the 2026-27 school year; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior annual period and proposals due July 13, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026. Buy American provisions appear in school and institutional solicitations; Oregon and Texas both apply state-preference scoring (5–10 percent for Oregon-sourced or -headquartered vendors; best-value evaluation in Texas state health procurement). Contract terms typically run one year with renewal options; delivery is FOB Destination with prepaid transportation. Set-asides for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged businesses do not appear uniformly across the recent record; MBE/CBE certifications are noted for Bridgeport, Connecticut procurement.
