UNSPSC 50374433: Canned or jarred organic ponkan bantangas mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374433 Canned or jarred organic ponkan bantangas mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single processed fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations under this code and closely adjacent food procurement codes show activity spanning a much broader range of shelf-stable and refrigerated food items — including proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, condiments, and fresh produce — procured by school districts, state agencies, county governments, and municipal departments for food service operations. The code itself appears to serve as a catchall tag within procurement systems for food commodity buys that may not align with the narrow product definition; the actual work solicited involves volume purchases of standardized, USDA-compliant food products delivered on firm-fixed or unit-rate pricing to central distribution points, warehouses, or institutional feeding sites. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), municipal education systems (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, TDCJ facilities in Texas, HHSC state-supported living centers). Most solicitations are IFBs or ITBs with firm delivery timelines, Buy American or domestic content requirements where applicable, and incumbent vendor pricing history provided as a market reference.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable posting activity from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (state facilities), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (RFQ with F.O.B. destination delivery and 72-hour fulfillment where possible); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a historical spend reference of $1.5 million for the prior contract year; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with proposals due July 16, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 with a historical price of $21.84 per case and combined 10 percent local preference (5 percent Oregon fabrication, 5 percent Oregon headquarter location); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026–27 due June 26, 2026 with Buy American content requirements and three-location delivery.
