UNSPSC 50375021: Canned or jarred organic late navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375021 Canned or jarred organic late navel oranges is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line, though recent state and local contract opportunities show the code is being applied to a much broader scope: shelf-stable food products for nutrition programs and food service operations, not limited to oranges or organic products. State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code include county governments, state departments, school districts, and state-supported living centers. The work being purchased spans fresh produce, canned proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, beverages, condiments, and consumable supplies for cafeteria and institutional food service. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posting multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with proposals due August 24, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments with bids due May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21, 2026 via addendum).

Recent activity spans multiple states with particular concentration in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (1,904 cases in May 2026 and 4,760 cases in July 2026), with historical pricing of approximately $21.83 to $21.84 per case and Oregon-goods preferences of 5 percent applied. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026-27 in an IFB due June 26, 2026, with Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids for 115 line items of commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and Buy American compliance required. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food and consumable solicitations with significant contract values: one IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (March 2026 due date), and another IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million annually (July 2026 due date).
