UNSPSC 50374431: Canned or jarred organic page mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374431 Canned or jarred organic page mandarin oranges, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food-supply line item purchased by state and local governments as part of larger shelf-stable food procurements for institutional feeding operations. The code does not appear in the recent state and local opportunities as a standalone procurement category. Instead, canned fruit products—applesauce, mixed fruit, and mandarin oranges—are typically solicited as individual line items within broader food and consumable-product purchases that serve correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county social services departments. Buyers specify brand or provide brand-or-equal flexibility, with products required to meet USDA commodity specifications, FDA standards, and shelf-life minimums, and to be delivered on FOB destination terms with pricing quoted per unit or case.

Recent activity under related codes shows issuing bodies concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice (ITBs in May and July 2026 for approximately 1,900 and 4,760 cases respectively), with historical pricing around $21.83 per case and awards to vendors such as Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner. Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs, June and August 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food including canned vegetables and proteins (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). School districts and municipalities also participate: Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, July 2026); Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce with over 200 line items (IFB SN002-2027, June 2026); and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested commodities for its nutrition center including fruit and vegetable products (BNB053266, June 2026). Canned fruit appears as a minor component in larger institutional food buys rather than as a dedicated procurement line.
