UNSPSC 50374428: Canned or jarred organic nocatee tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374428 Canned or jarred organic nocatee tangelo oranges is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show that governments are buying canned applesauce, canned fruit, dried fruit products, and mixed commodity food bundles that include canned citrus and other preserved fruits as line items within larger food service contracts. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-supported service facilities. School districts and corrections departments emerge as repeat institutional buyers, with state-level procurement offices managing multi-facility food service supply chains.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and West, with recent solicitations posted from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ statewide), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem's Central Distribution Center (bids due July 31, 2026; historical award at $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum three-year value of $4.5 million (bids due March 19, 2026, later extended), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for senior services (quotes due October 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026 for brand-or-equal and brand-specific tracks). Most solicitations are structured as ITBs, RFQs, or RFPs with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity or FDA standards, and contract terms running 12 to 36 months with optional renewals.
