UNSPSC 50375020: Canned or jarred organic kona oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375020 Canned or jarred organic kona oranges is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as shelf-stable bulk food inventory for institutional food service operations—including detention facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services departments, school nutrition programs, and veterans' homes. The recent solicitation activity, however, shows that jurisdictions are procuring canned and jarred fruit products under this code far more broadly than the specific "organic kona oranges" title suggests; the sourced opportunities name applesauce, mixed fruit, and generic canned fruit within the same family of shelf-stable produce. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health and human services, county school boards, city education systems, county senior services, state veterans' facilities, and state comptroller-administered prison food services. The code draws activity from state-level procurement offices as primary users, with subordinate solicitations from county and municipal education and human services entities.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (ITBs S-29100-00017453 and S2910000016975, due July 31 and June 2, 2026 respectively, with historical pricing around $21.83 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, maximum contract value $4,500,000 over three years) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products including canned fruit; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts jointly issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy issued two recurring quarterly food-order solicitations (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026). School districts including Austin ISD (RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning the contract year, due June 26, 2026) are also active. Bridgeport, Connecticut's Board of Education Nutrition Center issued an IFB for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions, prevailing wage requirements where applicable, and minimum insurance coverage are standard contract requirements across these jurisdictions.
