UNSPSC 50374427: Canned or jarred organic natsumikan mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374427 Canned or jarred organic natsumikan mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that describes specialty preserved fruit products state and local governments purchase primarily as food-service inputs for institutional facilities, including schools, correctional institutions, veterans homes, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. While the code nominally specifies organic natsumikan mandarin oranges, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect broader shelf-stable fruit procurement spanning canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and supplemental food and consumable products that include multiple fruit varieties and processing methods. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city boards of education, and county boards of commissioners—predominantly institutional food-service buyers managing high-volume, commodity-style procurement with firm fixed pricing and multi-location delivery requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,700 cases per solicitation), with bids due June 2 and July 31, 2026, applying a combined 10 percent Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preference and awarding to the lowest responsive bidder; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumable products statewide with a March 19, 2026 deadline and a potential contract value of up to $4.5 million over three years; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with a May 4, 2026 deadline; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; and Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with a July 16, 2026 deadline. Pricing is typically firm fixed for the contract term with unit-based evaluation, all items must meet USDA or FDA standards with specific shelf-life and packaging requirements, delivery is FOB Destination prepaid by the contractor, and awards generally go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or to multiple vendors for best value.
