UNSPSC 50374423: Canned or jarred organic monica oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374423 Canned or jarred organic monica oranges (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. While the code nominally specifies a single produce item—organic canned oranges—recent solicitations show state and local governments using this UNSPSC tag to buy broad food-service commodities spanning shelf-stable proteins, grains, sauces, vegetables, frozen entrees, dairy, and fresh produce ranging from apples and berries to leafy greens and melons. The issuing bodies are diverse: county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut), state procurement offices on behalf of prison and corrections systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), county social services (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas). The scope spans food service for schools, state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services, and board-of-education nutrition centers—all buying through mixed bid vehicles including IFB, RFP, and informal written quotes (IWQ).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut over the past four months (May–October 2026), with repeat solicitations from Oregon Department of Corrections (ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026) and the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026 due date) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce in five full truckloads; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Buy American requirements appear in school district and USDA-regulated solicitations; Oregon and Texas apply resident and Texas SmartBuy administrative preferences. The code shows active procurement volume but with scope misalignment—treat as a data-quality signal and verify vendor classification before pursuing under this specific commodity tag.
