UNSPSC 50374437: Canned or jarred organic sampson tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374437 Canned or jarred organic sampson tangelo oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent solicitation activity shows that state and local buyers under this code actually purchase a far broader range of canned and preserved fruit and vegetable items than the code name alone suggests. Recent opportunities reveal that jurisdictions are buying canned applesauce, canned fruit, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps across school nutrition programs, state facilities, county senior services, and state-operated institutions. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). County and school district buyers appear repeatedly across the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the South and Midwest, with Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon each showing multiple recent solicitations between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026, delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the Oregon Department of Corrections' two separate ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases in July 2026 at $21.84 per case historically, and 1,904 cases in May 2026), both with Oregon goods and vendor-residency preferences totaling 10 percent; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum three-year potential value of $4.5 million). Award structures vary from lowest responsive and responsible bidder to best-value evaluations; most solicitations require FOB destination delivery, commercial liability insurance, and compliance with Buy American provisions or USDA commodity standards.
