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

UNSPSC 50375036 Canned or jarred organic roble oranges is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of canned fruit products—primarily applesauce, canned produce, and related shelf-stable fruit items for institutional food service. Recent solicitations under this code show departments of corrections, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and health facility operators buying canned and packaged fruit to supply cafeterias, nutrition programs, and institutional kitchens. The work consists of supplying vendor-selected canned fruits meeting USDA commodity specifications, HACCP compliance, Buy American requirements (where applicable), and firm pricing delivered on FOB destination terms to central warehouses or distributed delivery points. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI, multiple Georgia school systems), and municipal nutrition operations (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). Repeat procurement activity is visible from state corrections and multi-school-district food service cooperatives sourcing canned and jarred fruit on rolling annual or multi-year contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026; due July 31, 2026) soliciting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing with 10% Oregon preference and firm delivery schedules; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 13, 2026) requesting food and consumable products including canned fruit for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and best-value evaluation; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut IFB BNB053266 (posted June 2, 2026; due June 26, 2026) for 115 commodities line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. School nutrition procurement—represented by Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, and multiple Georgia school districts—shows sustained demand for canned fruit under both Net Off Invoice and fixed-price grocery contracts spanning 200 to 900+ line items annually. Most solicitations enforce Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed items), require firm pricing for 12-month terms, mandate USDA/FDA compliance, and award on lowest responsive bid or best value. Insurance requirements typically run $1 million commercial general liability. State and local purchasing mechanisms include ITBs, RFPs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts.
