UNSPSC 50375013: Canned or jarred organic chinotto oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375013 Canned or jarred organic chinotto oranges is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable, branded fruit and vegetable products for institutional food service — though the recent solicitations under this code show minimal actual demand for the specific chinotto product and instead reflect broader institutional food purchasing that includes canned produce, fresh items, and related consumables. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily county and state human services agencies (including corrections departments, veterans homes, and state supported living centers), school districts, and municipal boards of education sourcing food for cafeterias, nutrition centers, and inmate or resident meal programs. The work involves responding to informal quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), and requests for proposal (RFP) for volume purchases of food items with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery to specified institutional locations, compliance with USDA grades and FDA standards, and maintenance of commercial liability insurance. Vendors must meet detailed item specifications, often with "or approved equivalent" latitude, and demonstrate past performance through references and verifiable vendor histories.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an IWQ in October 2026 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026.
