UNSPSC 50374439: Canned or jarred organic sunburst mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374439 Canned or jarred organic sunburst mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned fruit products used in institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and public-facility meal operations. State and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit items—applesauce, mandarin oranges, mixed fruit, and similar products—as components of broader food-commodity and nutrition programs that serve corrections facilities, veterans homes, schools, county senior services, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitations show procurement bodies treating canned fruit as part of larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; for example, a single line item in a multi-category food bid or one of many shelf-stable proteins and vegetables in a nutrition procurement. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state veterans homes, school districts, county boards of education, county senior-services departments, and state health and human services commissions. The code shows activity from correctional facilities, veterans' homes, school nutrition programs, and public health facilities across multiple states.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), each for approximately 1,900 to 4,700 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; the historical award price was $21.84 to $21.83 per case. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (quarterly quarters ending December 2026 and September 2026, proposals due August 24 and June 17, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables statewide to serve state hospitals and state supported living centers in an IFB with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for senior services (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). The code shows episodic but consistent purchasing activity across correctional, veterans, school, and public-health systems, with award prices typically in the $20–$25 per case range for canned fruit products.
