UNSPSC 50374441: Canned or jarred organic tangerina oranges

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

UNSPSC 50374441 Canned or jarred organic tangerina oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable citrus products, though recent state and local procurement activity shows broader application across general food-service purchasing for schools, correctional facilities, senior services, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. The code appears in mixed-line-item food solicitations where canned citrus may be one among dozens of shelf-stable food products rather than in single-product procurements. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), county departments of community services (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois), school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and state-supported living centers. State agencies and school districts dominate recent activity, reflecting the commodity's role in institutional food service where cost-per-unit and delivery reliability matter more than brand exclusivity.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); Texas HHSC requesting bids for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center including fresh and processed fruits (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office requesting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-or-equal and brand-specific specifications (proposals due August 24 and June 17, 2026); and the Texas Comptroller issuing Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (extended due date May 4, 2026, with an initial contract term through August 31, 2027). Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned-applesauce procurements (ITBs with historical unit pricing around $21.84 per case) using an ITB notice type with Oregon domestic-content and resident-bidder preferences. Contract values where disclosed range from approximately $1.5 million annually (Texas HHSC El Paso facility) to estimated multi-year totals of $4.5 million over three years (Texas HHSC statewide supplemental food and consumables). Most opportunities require compliance with Buy American provisions, prevailing wage where applicable, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on issuer), delivery to designated facilities, and sealed or electronic bid submission with firm, fixed pricing.
