UNSPSC 50374425: Canned or jarred organic murcott tangors

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

UNSPSC 50374425 Canned or jarred organic murcott tangors is a Commodity code with minimal direct recent activity; the source shows no state or local solicitations specifically requesting organic murcott tangors. However, the recent opportunities block contains multiple food-service procurements that span canned and jarred fruits and processed produce broadly, suggesting the code sits within a larger ecosystem of shelf-stable produce purchasing by state agencies, school districts, county governments, and institutional food-service operations. The work actually being solicited under related codes includes canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District), fresh produce including citrus (Hancock County Schools), and comprehensive food and consumables bundles for correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state health facilities, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas HHSC, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County, Gwinnett County), municipal boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Austin Independent School District), and state-supported living centers. Award authority typically rests with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on best-value evaluation including price, vendor performance history, and compliance with specifications; Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items) apply in school nutrition and certain state procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) with significant mid-scale procurements in Texas, Illinois, and national or multi-state institutional food-service operations. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, originally due March 19, 2026, maximum value $4.5 million over three years across 210 line items), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), and multiple Illinois Veterans Home Quincy weekly food orders under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (27497DVAQUINCB53751 and 27497DVAQUINCB53752, due August 24, 2026). Canned organic murcott tangors specifically do not appear in the representative opportunities; vendors should monitor school nutrition and state facility food-service solicitations for openings where the commodity code applies, or pursue entry through broader food-bundle RFQs and ITBs where organic citrus or preserved fruit is itemized.
