UNSPSC 50375006: Canned or jarred organic berna oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375006 Canned or jarred organic berna oranges is a Commodity code that in practice spans a broader range of preserved fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, pears, and other canned or jarred fruit—procured by state and local nutrition and food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code is used for school district nutrition programs, state corrections facilities, state health and human services operations, and municipal school boards seeking single-vendor or multi-vendor supply contracts for shelf-stable fruit products delivered to central warehouses or distributed across multiple school sites. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System) account for the majority of recent activity, with school nutrition programs dominating the issuing-body mix. Work solicited includes canned applesauce in bulk (Oregon DOC, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026; historical price $21.84 per case), dried fruit bars and apple crisps for K–12 food service (Austin ISD, RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and broader food and consumable product baskets that include canned fruit among dozens of other items (Texas HHSC, IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026; historical value $1.5 million annually).

Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast and Texas. Recent opportunities originate from Oregon, Texas (multiple state agencies and independent school districts), Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Illinois (Chief Procurement Office), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). School districts typically procure under cooperative purchasing vehicles or direct RFP/IFB methods with annual or multi-year terms (July 1 through June 30 runs predominate), firm fixed pricing, and FOB destination delivery to central warehouses or school sites. State agencies and corrections facilities use ITBs and IFBs with similar delivery and pricing structures. Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and USDA commodity specification compliance appear in most K–12 solicitations. Contract values range from approximately $41,530 for Oregon DOC's smaller applesauce buys to $9 million annually for major school district food supply contracts, with most individual fruit-product line items priced per case or unit on a firm basis through the contract term.
