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, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader food-supply procurements that state and local governments conduct for correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, county senior services, and institutional food service operations. State and local buyers rarely solicit organic valencia oranges in isolation; instead, they purchase canned and jarred fruit products as line items within large multi-category food and consumables tenders that span proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, and shelf-stable staples. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically targeting organic valencia oranges, but the code sits within a much larger ecosystem of institutional food procurement where school districts, state corrections departments, county nutrition services, state health and human services agencies, and municipal boards of education are actively tendering for canned fruit products—including applesauce, mixed fruit, and other canned produce—as components of broader food-service contracts.

The issuing bodies purchasing under this code tier include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), county boards of education (Georgia, Mississippi), independent school districts (Texas), city boards of education (Connecticut), and county senior services (Georgia). Geographic concentration emerges in the Southeast—Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina school districts and county agencies; Texas (state corrections, HHSC, TDCJ); the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections); Illinois (state veterans homes); and Connecticut (municipal boards of education). Representative recent opportunities illustrate the context: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016975 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned applesauce due June 2, 2026, with historical award pricing at $21.827 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned fruit under IFB HHS0016792v2 (bid deadline March 19, 2026) with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including citrus (due June 26, 2026) with domestic content requirements under Buy American provisions. The code itself shows limited standalone activity; opportunities that mention canned oranges do so as line items within larger food-service tenders rather than as standalone procurements, suggesting that vendors pursuing this commodity should position capacity within integrated food-distribution platforms serving institutional buyers.
