UNSPSC 50375017: Canned or jarred organic jaffa oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375017 Canned or jarred organic jaffa oranges is a Commodity code tracking institutional food procurement by state and local agencies, particularly counties, school districts, state correctional facilities, and health and human services operations purchasing shelf-stable canned and jarred produce for inmate meals, school nutrition programs, senior services, and medical facility food service. The scope reflects actual buying patterns across a broad category of food items—shelf-stable proteins, grains, vegetables, fruits, and dairy—rather than jaffa oranges specifically; recent state and local opportunities under this code are predominantly for large-volume canned and frozen food commodity buys involving 100+ line items per solicitation, with brand-specific or brand-or-equal specifications, firm fixed pricing quoted per unit, delivery to centralized warehouses or distribution centers, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value evaluation.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Arizona, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing multiple canned applesauce ITBs (most recent due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal proposals due August 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2 with $4.5 million maximum contract value, bid response deadline originally March 19, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting cafeteria food products via the Comptroller of Public Accounts (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response due May 4, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases soliciting 115 line items of food commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026). School districts including Austin ISD (RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB for school year 2026-27, due June 26, 2026) also appear in recent opportunities. All Buy American provisions apply where applicable; prevailing wage, commercial liability insurance ($500,000–$2,000,000 per occurrence), and record retention are standard. Most institutional food procurement solicitations are IFB or informal quote-based with firm fixed pricing, delivery within 45–72 hours to destination, and Q&A cycles preceding bid opening.
