UNSPSC 50375009: Canned or jarred organic blonde oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375009 Canned or jarred organic blonde oranges is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this designation in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code span canned and jarred fruit products, fresh produce, grocery items, and comprehensive food service supply contracts across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and institutional food operations—a scope far broader than organic blonde oranges alone. State and local purchasing offices are using this code to solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, and mixed food commodities for delivery to schools, prisons, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The issuing bodies include school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and county boards of education across Georgia. This code has seen activity from repeat institutional buyers operating large-scale meal programs with predictable, recurring procurement cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school districts as the dominant buyer type. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period spend of $1.5 million). The Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in Georgia carries estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 to align with school years, use ITB or RFP methods, require FOB destination pricing with freight prepaid, demand firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and apply Buy American provisions for processed products containing at least 51 percent domestic content. Bidders consistently must carry general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence minimum and submit compliance certifications including debarment status, E-Verify authorization, and food safety documentation; many solicitations apply state or local vendor preferences and reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
