UNSPSC 50375043: Canned or jarred organic valencia oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375043 Canned or jarred organic valencia oranges is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of canned and processed fruit products than its title suggests. State and local procurement offices soliciting under this code buy canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, and other shelf-stable fruit items for institutional food service—primarily school districts and state correctional and health-care facilities. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county and city school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Fairfax County, Douglas County), and specialized state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts running annual or multi-year grocery and fresh-produce solicitations that include canned fruit alongside fresh and frozen items.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in the Southeast and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, under solicitation S2910000017453, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, for food and consumables including canned fruit for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million over one year and the opportunity to renew through August 31, 2028. Douglas County School System in Georgia posted RFP SN 26-004 due March 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and multiple school districts in Missouri (Rockwood, Liberty County) have all posted food-service solicitations in the past four months with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and multi-year renewal options. Geographic concentration includes Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with school districts and state agencies in these states driving the majority of recent volume. Canned fruit competes alongside fresh and frozen products in these all-foods-category bids; pure fruit commodity opportunities appear less frequent than bundled grocery or produce contracts.
