UNSPSC 50375044: Canned or jarred organic washington navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50375044 Canned or jarred organic Washington navel oranges (Commodity) represents a narrow food-service input category that state and local governments purchase primarily as one line item within broader food-service and nutrition solicitations rather than as standalone contracts. Recent opportunities show the code being solicited by school districts, state correctional agencies, state health and human services departments, and county social-services boards acquiring shelf-stable produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for institutional feeding operations. While the code nominally specifies organic Washington navel oranges, actual state and local procurement activity under this code sits within expansive commodity-food RFPs and IFBs that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items—canned vegetables, fruits, proteins, grains, and specialty items—with brand-or-equal substitution permitted in most cases and price competition conducted on a per-unit basis.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs in May and July 2026 for canned fruit applesauce (closely related specialty items) with historical awards in the $21–22 range per case and 5% state-preference eligibility; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal formats in June and August 2026 with August 24 and June 17 response deadlines; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple food-and-consumables IFBs with response deadlines in March 2026 and a June 2026 posting for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually. School districts including Austin ISD and Hancock County Schools posted fresh and dried produce RFPs in June and July 2026, and the City of Bridgeport's Board of Education solicited 115-line-item commodity bundles with June 26, 2026 bid openings. The code sees modest activity concentrated in state institutional food service (corrections, veterans homes, state hospitals) and school nutrition programs; vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid as part of large, multi-item food-service vehicles rather than single-product procurements.
