UNSPSC 50375042: Canned or jarred organic tunis oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375042 Canned or jarred organic Tunis oranges (Commodity) covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and human services agencies. The recent solicitation record shows minimal direct procurement of this specific commodity code; instead, state and local buyers are acquiring canned and jarred fruit products—including applesauce, mixed canned fruits, and other shelf-stable fruit items—as line items within broader food supply contracts that span dozens or hundreds of commodity lines. The issuing bodies include state departments (corrections, health and human services), school districts and boards of education, county governments, and municipal procurement offices. Contracts are structured as either single-vendor awards or multiple-award vehicles where vendors respond to a master commodity list and are evaluated per line item or as a comprehensive provider.

Recent activity spans Georgia (Gwinnett County Schools and State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Austin Independent School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and Mississippi (Hancock County Schools). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales and delivery to Salem's central distribution center (closing July 31, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, with a contract value ceiling of $4.5 million over three years (closing March 19, 2026); and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services (closing October 19, 2026). Canned and jarred fruit procurement appears as a supporting category within these larger institutional food buys rather than as a standalone high-volume commodity.
