UNSPSC 50375034: Canned or jarred organic pummulo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375034 Canned or jarred organic pummulo oranges, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually procuring. Recent solicitations tagged under this code predominantly involve canned and fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, and broader grocery staples for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations—not the specialized organic citrus product the code name specifies. The Oregon Department of Corrections, for example, recently solicited canned applesauce under an ITB with a July 31, 2026 response date; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; and Dallas Independent School District requested various food products including spices and ice cream for child nutrition services. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments, school districts, and health and human services commissions across multiple states. The breadth of food categories in these solicitations—proteins, dairy, grains, fresh produce, frozen items, and consumable supplies—suggests the code is functioning as a catch-all for commodity grocery procurement rather than a precise classification for organic pummulo oranges specifically.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts and county systems), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Illinois (Chief Procurement Office), with school districts and state agencies dominating the issuing-body mix. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, delivered to Salem with historical pricing of $21.84 per case and Oregon goods and vendor preferences totaling 10 percent; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 due date and historical contract value of $1.5 million; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code shows consistent activity but reflects general commodity procurement rather than specialized organic citrus—a mismatch worth noting when evaluating pursuit strategy for a vendor positioned in organic specialty produce.
