UNSPSC 50375101: Canned or jarred organic green cooking papayas

The variety of organic papayas known as organic green cooking papayas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375101 Canned or jarred organic green cooking papayas is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific item directly; recent opportunities show food-service procurement that encompasses canned and fresh produce broadly rather than organic green papayas in isolation. The code's narrow scope — organic preparation, specific produce type, and shelf-stable format — does not align with the generalist food-buying pattern evident in state and local opportunities over the past four months. School districts, county governments, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies buy shelf-stable produce in bulk as part of multi-category food service awards, but those solicitations typically list dozens of canned vegetable and fruit varieties under open brand-or-equal or lowest-price specifications rather than targeting a single organic commodity. The issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Austin Independent School District, Texas), state corrections systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health authorities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home system), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, reflecting nationwide school lunch and institutional food service procurement.

Recent opportunities in related canned-produce categories show different activity patterns. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026, ITB format, approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per award) with historical pricing near $21.80–$21.84 per case and a 10 percent Oregon-preference adder. Texas Health and Human Services Commission released a statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items including canned fruits and vegetables with a potential $4.5 million contract value through August 2028 (bid deadline March 19, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026, IWQ format). Hancock County Schools posted a fresh-produce IFB for over 200 line items including papayas alongside apples, berries, and citrus (IFB, due June 26, 2026). The code shows no standalone recent solicitations for organic green cooking papayas; any pursuit should target multi-category food service RFPs and ITBs where the commodity could be itemized, or monitor state school lunch cooperatives and institutional food buyers for specialized organic or specialty-produce requests.
