UNSPSC 50375028: Canned or jarred organic navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375028 Canned or jarred organic navel oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses preserved citrus fruits and related canned fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, senior services, and state health and human services centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit products, and broader shelf-stable fruit categories as components of larger food-service contracts rather than organic navel oranges specifically; the code's nominal scope diverges from current procurement activity, which focuses on generic canned fruit and applesauce meeting USDA commodity specifications and Buy American requirements rather than branded organic citrus products.
