UNSPSC 50375004: Canned or jarred organic bahianinha oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375004 Canned or jarred organic bahianinha oranges (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this code. State and local governments are soliciting food and consumable products for institutional food service—schools, corrections facilities, veterans homes, health and human services centers, and senior services—but recent opportunities show no demand for bahianinha oranges specifically or other specialty organic citrus. Instead, the code appears misaligned with what is actually being purchased: shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables and fruit (including applesauce and mixed fruits), dairy, grains, condiments, and dried fruit products for bulk institutional meal preparation and distribution. The issuing bodies span county school boards, state departments of corrections and health services, state veterans homes, municipal boards of education, county senior services, and independent school districts. Repeat buyers include the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly procurements for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the Oregon Department of Corrections (recurring applesauce bids), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (statewide food service for state hospitals and supported living centers), and various county boards of education.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West, with notable procurements from Georgia (Gwinnett County and the State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Austin ISD), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (state veterans home), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016975 in May 2026 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned applesauce due June 2, 2026, with a five percent state-of-origin and resident-bidder preference; the historical award price was $21.827 per case to MJ Kellner. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0016792v2) in May 2026 with responses due March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and dry products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce bids (IFB #SN002-2027) in June 2026 with sealing at June 26 for the 2026-27 school year, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content. The code as currently designated does not align with these institutional bulk-food procurement patterns and warrants review against the actual commodity mix being purchased.
