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 is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader set of shelf-stable food products than the code name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing canned and jarred fruits, applesauce, dried fruit products, and related food-service commodities for institutional use—schools, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, senior-services centers, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, independent school districts, state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of commissioners, and municipal boards of education. These buyers source through a mix of notice types—ITBs predominate for correctional and institutional food service, while RFPs and informal written quotes (IWQs) appear for smaller or single-jurisdiction procurements. The scope of work reflects institutional food-service standardization: canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, fresh produce delivered to school and facility distribution centers, dried fruit bars, and shelf-stable products packed in juice, water, or light syrup with firm, fixed pricing per unit or case.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and state-level Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling up to 10 percent; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing multiple quarterly food-order solicitations (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with due dates in June and August 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 for senior services; and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issuing IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with Buy American domestic-content requirements and delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027.
