UNSPSC 50375003: Canned or jarred organic argentine sour oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375003, Canned or jarred organic argentine sour oranges, is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit and vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show broader purchasing of canned and packaged food items rather than the narrow Argentine sour orange focus. State and local governments acquiring under this code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city boards of education, and county boards of commissioners. Recent solicitations span institutional feeding programs: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for senior services; the Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce totaling roughly 6,664 cases; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including canned vegetables and fruits for multiple warehouse locations. The code reflects institutional bulk purchasing where specific branded or equivalent canned goods are ordered on firm fixed-price, FOB destination terms with delivery windows of 45 to 72 hours.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent posting dates from May through October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted twice for canned applesauce (ITBs due June 2 and July 31, 2026, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IFQ due October 19, 2026, for mixed food items; 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; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission bid supplemental food and consumables ($1.5 million historical value for the prior 12-month period); and the City of Bridgeport and City of Austin Independent School District separately solicited commodity foods and fresh produce. Issuing bodies emphasize firm fixed pricing valid through contract term, FOB destination delivery prepaid, compliance with USDA standards and Buy American requirements where applicable, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value. Insurance, record retention, and worker verification compliance are standard conditions across solicitations.
