UNSPSC 50374939: Canned or jarred organic rio red nectarines

The variety of organic nectarines known as organic rio red nectarines that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374939 Canned or jarred organic rio red nectarines is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of canned and jarred fruit products than its nominal scope suggests. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on canned fruit procurement for institutional food service—primarily corrections facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies purchasing shelf-stable fruit products to support meal programs. Recent solicitations show buyers acquiring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and other processed fruit items as substitutes or complements to fresh produce contracts, reflecting the code's role in supplying consistent, year-round inventory for high-volume food service operations.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and state health agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026); school districts including Austin Independent School District and Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services have solicited dried fruit and processed fruit items; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued large multi-facility IFBs for supplemental food and consumables including canned goods; and state-level health and corrections procurement offices appear as repeat issuers. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD), and Georgia (school districts), with additional activity in Missouri and Connecticut. The historical price point for canned applesauce at Oregon Corrections was $21.84 per case as of June 2026. Tender notices are typically ITBs or RFPs with response windows of two to six weeks; Oregon Corrections applies a combined 10 percent state-goods preference (5 percent for Oregon fabrication, 5 percent for Oregon residency). Buyers specify USDA commodity compliance, FDA/USDA food safety standards, minimum shelf life (typically one year), and FOB destination or prepaid delivery terms. Institutional scale is material—Oregon Corrections' recent bid contemplated 4,760 cases (40,000 pounds per truck load); Texas HHSC's supplemental food procurement across state hospitals and living centers spans 210 line items with a three-year maximum value of $4.5 million. School districts commonly bundle produce, fresh and frozen proteins, and canned goods into master grocery or nutrition service contracts, with canned fruit as a line item within broader food-supply RFPs rather than as a standalone solicitation.
