UNSPSC 50375033: Canned or jarred organic pera oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375033 Canned or jarred organic pera oranges is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, senior centers, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show purchasing across a broad mix of institutional food service contexts — school districts, county boards of education, state corrections and health departments, and municipal social services — rather than procurement concentrated in a single jurisdiction type. The scope of actual buying extends well beyond the code's nominal title: while the code names pera oranges specifically, recent opportunities tagged under it encompass canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader food-supply bundles alongside citrus products. Issuing bodies include the State of Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple ITBs for canned applesauce), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (shelf-stable food items including canned products), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables statewide), Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois appear as repeat buyers in the recent window.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with recent solicitations originating in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026, under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with quotes due October 19, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and bids due July 11, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple categories with sealed bids due June 26, 2026.
