UNSPSC 50374430: Canned or jarred organic ortanique tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50374430 Canned or jarred organic ortanique tangerines (Commodity) represents a narrow fruit product category within state and local food procurement, though recent solicitations across the dataset show no direct demand for this specific item. Instead, state and local buyers are acquiring a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh produce — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh citrus and stone fruits, berries, and mixed vegetables — typically as line items within larger food-service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of education, state corrections and health departments, county senior services, and municipal nutrition centers. Work solicited includes routine food supply agreements with firm, fixed unit pricing, delivery to multiple or single warehouse locations, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and Buy American provisions where applicable, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options. Vendors are expected to maintain liability insurance, provide references, comply with debarment and wage requirements, and in many cases offer brand-or-equal substitutions.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ statewide distribution, Austin ISD), Oregon (ODOC canned fruit procurements), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy quarterly food orders), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce — S2910000016975 (approximately 1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026) and S2910000017453 (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026) — with a 10 percent combined Oregon goods and resident-business preference and historical pricing near $21.84 per case. Texas HHSC posted IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million and a March 19, 2026 deadline. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) requested fresh produce bids under IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items of citrus, berries, and specialty produce. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center and completion by December 7, 2026.
