UNSPSC 50374432: Canned or jarred organic pixie oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374432 Canned or jarred organic pixie oranges (Commodity) describes shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though recent solicitations tagged with this code show limited activity specifically targeting organic pixie oranges; instead, issuing bodies are buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed commodity food items under broader food-service contracts. State and local buyers across this commodity family include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, state veterans homes, and municipal boards of education. The scope of work spans procurement of shelf-stable and fresh produce for nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and senior services, with typical line items including canned fruits, dried fruit products, fresh citrus and berries, and specialty fruit items alongside proteins, vegetables, and consumable supplies. Contracts are structured on firm fixed unit-price or case-price bases with delivery to central distribution centers or facility locations, often with brand-or-equal options and Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content percentages.

Recent activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables including canned fruits with an anticipated contract value up to $4,500,000 over three years and response deadline of March 19, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned applesauce—one in May 2026 (due June 2) for 1,904 cases at a historical price of $21.827 per case and another in July 2026 (due July 31) for 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case, both applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications and response deadlines in June and August 2026. Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia bid fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026.
