UNSPSC 50375036: Canned or jarred organic roble oranges

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 names a narrow product line—canned citrus specifically—but recent state and local procurement activity under the code emphasizes a much broader sourcing of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service, including canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and specialty items for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes. Issuers span county purchasing offices, state corrections and health departments, school districts, and municipal departments. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, proteins, and sauces for its Department of Community Services, with responses due October 19, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) requested bids on food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center in June 2026, with a historical monthly value of $1.5 million and an initial contract term through August 31, 2027, renewable through 2028. The scope of actual procurement activity diverges significantly from the code's nominal focus on organic roble oranges; instead, it reflects institutional food sourcing where canned fruit applesauce, fresh produce, proteins, and mixed shelf-stable goods dominate.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate Invitations to Bid (ITB) for canned applesauce—approximately 4,760 cases in July 2026 (historical award price $21.84 per case) and 1,904 cases in May 2026 (historical price $21.827 per case)—both delivered to Salem with a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference and 5 percent resident-bidder preference. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal options in the second and third quarters of 2026. Austin Independent School District (Texas) requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026 under RFP 27RFP004, with proposals due July 16. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items—apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens—with bids due June 26, 2026, and firm pricing required through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases requested bids on 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center in June 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. All recent solicitations require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA standards and Buy American provisions, and general commercial liability insurance typically of $1 million per occurrence or higher.
