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 is a Commodity code that captures canned and jarred fruit products procured by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service, though recent activity under this code shows significant divergence between the code's specific name and what is actually being solicited. The source records name canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food supply contracts—none of which are organic pixie oranges. State and local buyers using this code include state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts (independent and county boards of education), and special-purpose districts organized through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. School districts and county boards of education dominate the activity, with repeat solicitations from Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, and multiple Georgia school systems (Douglas County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response date) seeking 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026 response date) for food and consumable products across multiple NIGP classifications with $1.5 million historical annual spend, and Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 (July 16, 2026 response date) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps delivered to central warehouse.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with Texas (HHSC multiple solicitations, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) showing the most recent procurement volume. School nutrition programs dominate the use case, with contract periods typically July 1 through June 30 aligned to fiscal years, firm-fixed pricing required throughout the term with midterm adjustments permitted only when manufacturers increase prices 5 percent or greater, and delivery structured as multiple weekly or scheduled shipments to central warehouses or individual school sites. Buy American requirements, USDA compliance, HACCP plan submissions, and commercial general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence) appear consistently across all recent solicitations. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are evident in the source records; awards are made on lowest responsive, responsible bid or best value basis, frequently to single or multiple vendors per line item to accommodate different product categories or geographic delivery zones.
