UNSPSC 50375024: Canned or jarred organic marr oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375024 Canned or jarred organic marr oranges is a Commodity code that in state and local practice encompasses canned and jarred fruit products procured for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health agencies, though the recent opportunities show substantial divergence from organic specialty items to mainstream canned fruits like applesauce and preserved produce staples. State and local procurement under this code draws from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Dallas ISD), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), and municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport), with school nutrition programs representing the dominant issuing-body category. The work itself consists of procurement of case quantities of canned fruits and related preserved fruit products—applesauce, fruit cups, canned vegetables, and processed fruit items—delivered to central warehouses or distributed directly to school sites and institutional facilities on firm fixed-price contracts, typically with annual terms running July through June aligned to school-year cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation S2910000017453 (ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323 for grocery products including fruit items across 45 school sites, due April 27, 2026), Dallas ISD's food products RFP (due April 2, 2026), and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million per area). Pricing structures typically require firm fixed unit costs on FOB destination terms with all freight prepaid, compliance with Buy American provisions mandating domestic agricultural commodity content (frequently 51 percent minimum for processed items), and delivery schedules spanning weekly to quarterly patterns depending on issuing body and product shelf life. Most school district contracts apply standard insurance requirements of $1 million general liability per occurrence and permit price adjustments only at renewal or upon documented manufacturer cost increases of 5 percent or greater.
