UNSPSC 50375002: Canned or jarred organic ambersweet oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic ambersweet oranges that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375002 Canned or jarred organic ambersweet oranges is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, senior services, correctional facilities, health and human services residential centers, and veterans' homes. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local agencies purchasing broadly across canned and processed fruit categories—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed canned fruit items—rather than narrowly to organic ambersweet oranges alone. The mix of issuing bodies includes county boards of education, state departments (corrections, human services, veterans affairs), city nutrition centers, and independent school districts. County school systems and state correctional and residential facilities are the most active recent buyers, appearing multiple times across the opportunities in the source.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with notable solicitations from Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Austin Independent School District (Texas). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned applesauce ITBs—one in July 2026 for 4,760 cases (due July 31) and another in May 2026 for 1,904 cases (due June 2)—with a historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case and preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, and a separate IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-year guideline value of $1.5 million. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP due July 16, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education requested fresh produce for school year 2026–27 (due June 26, 2026) under a Buy American requirement.
