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

UNSPSC 50374435 Canned or jarred organic Robinson oranges is a Commodity code that names a single packaged fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities soliciting under this code do not reflect procurement focused on that specific item—instead, they show jurisdictions buying broad shelf-stable food products, fresh produce, and cafeteria-ready proteins spanning dozens of line items per contract. The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for food-service commodity purchases by counties, school districts, state departments, and other public bodies. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state corrections and health-services agencies, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and city departments of education across multiple states. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are repeat buyers in recent solicitations. Work is typically awarded on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, and contract periods ranging from quarterly to annual with renewal options. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content and state-level preferences for local or in-state vendors appear regularly.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issuing an IFB on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables with quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing weekly food-order proposals for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (both brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, posted August 19 and June 12, 2026, with responses due August 24 and June 17 respectively); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce on July 10, 2026, with bids due July 31 and a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center on June 11, 2026, with bids due July 13 and an estimated historical value of $1.5 million; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps on June 26, 2026, with proposals due July 16; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requesting bids for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center on June 2, 2026, with submissions due June 26.
