UNSPSC 50375023: Canned or jarred organic limequat oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375023 Canned or jarred organic limequat oranges (Commodity) represents shelf-stable canned and jarred citrus products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of canned and jarred fruits, vegetables, and food commodities than the narrow code name suggests. State and local buyers use this code to tag purchases of shelf-stable produce for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and general institutional cafeterias. The mix of issuing bodies includes state corrections and health departments, county boards of education, city school districts, and county social services agencies. Solicitations often allow brand-or-equal substitution, and award typically goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit or per-case basis, with delivery FOB destination and pricing inclusive of transportation and fuel charges.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned applesauce solicitations (ITB S2910000016975 in May 2026 and ITB S2910000017453 in July 2026, each for approximately 1,900–4,700 cases due to Oregon processors' historical participation), Georgia's Hancock County Board of Education requested fresh produce in June 2026 (IFB #SN002-2027, bid due June 26), Texas has issued several food commodity solicitations including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) and HHSC's statewide supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2, closed March 19, 2026 with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years), Illinois posts recurring quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs in June and August 2026), and Georgia's Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Connecticut's City of Bridgeport also solicited commodity food products in June 2026 (IFB BNB053266, due June 26) under Buy American provisions. None of the recent opportunities explicitly reference organic limequat oranges; the code appears to be applied more broadly to canned and jarred fruit and vegetable purchases, and the narrow commodity name does not reflect actual procurement activity under it.
