UNSPSC 50374956: Canned or jarred organic zee glo nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50374956 Canned or jarred organic zee glo nectarines (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable fruit products state and local governments procure for food service operations across correctional facilities, senior services, schools, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities show heavy demand for canned fruit products—applesauce, fresh produce, and mixed shelf-stable food items—solicited by state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, county boards of education, and state health and human services agencies. The work involves direct food supply for institutional food service, meal preparation, and canteen operations, with vendors expected to meet USDA commodity specifications, FDA compliance, specific packaging and shelf-life requirements, and FOB destination delivery to central distribution points or individual facility locations. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state-supported facility networks. Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on unit-price evaluation, though best-value consideration also appears in some solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Midwest (Illinois), and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumable products including fresh, frozen, and canned items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792V2 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a weekly basis with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response deadline extended to May 4, 2026) spans 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, with firm fixed pricing on FOB destination basis. Most solicitations require compliance with prevailing wage, State Prompt Payment Act, federal Buy American provisions where applicable, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, commercial liability insurance in the range of $500,000 to $2 million, and delivery within 45 to 72 hours of order or as scheduled by facility warehouse staff.
