UNSPSC 50375026: Canned or jarred organic moro oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375026 Canned or jarred organic moro oranges (Commodity) encompasses processed fruit products—canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, and related shelf-stable items—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services agencies. The code shows steady activity across corrections departments, school districts, and state health agencies soliciting through ITB, RFP, and RFQ notices with firm pricing structures and standard food service compliance requirements (USDA commodity specs, FDA standards, Buy American provisions where applicable). The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Muscogee County), and county board of education systems (Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition procurement is the dominant use case, with districts bidding weekly or annual contracts for multiple food product categories including fresh produce, canned goods, and specialty dietary items; institutional purchasers (corrections and state mental health facilities) bid smaller volumes of specific commodity items like canned applesauce on demand-driven or fixed schedules.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 (4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing with 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-bidder preference), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service warehouse delivery, due July 16, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center ($1.5 million historical value through August 31, 2027, covering food and consumable products under NIGP class codes, due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 (200+ line items of fresh produce with 51% Buy American requirement, due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and distribution kitchens, approximately $9 million in annual spending, due April 27, 2026). Pricing in school nutrition contracts runs firm-fixed for the annual or multi-year term, with common insurance requirements of $1 million general liability and compliance certifications including debarment, E-Verify, and food safety attestations; many jurisdictions apply Buy American provisions or state-level preferences (Oregon's 10% combined goods/resident preference, Texas SmartBuy fee structure, Georgia cooperative buying). Bid opening and award cycles typically span 30–90 days from response deadline, with contracts commencing July 1 for school year performance.
