UNSPSC 50375102: Canned or jarred organic maradol papayas

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

UNSPSC 50375102 Canned or jarred organic maradol papayas (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows the code sees minimal direct solicitation activity. State and local governments that do buy under this code typically source shelf-stable specialty produce items through broader food and consumables RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs rather than single-item commodity buys. School districts, corrections departments, and social services agencies appear in the recent record, purchasing canned fruit and specialty produce as line items within multi-hundred-line foodservice bids alongside proteins, vegetables, grains, and condiments. The work is straightforward supplier delivery of packaged goods meeting USDA commodity grades and FDA food safety standards, typically on FOB destination terms with firm pricing and compliance with prevailing wage, insurance, and debarment-verification requirements.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (response due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (response due August 24, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), which applied a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 supplemental food procurement (IFB due March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million) and school district produce solicitations such as Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh-produce IFB (200+ line items including specialty fruits, response due June 26, 2026) show sustained activity in food service sourcing. The code itself generates limited standalone buys; most relevant opportunities treat canned and jarred specialty produce as components of larger consolidated food and kitchen-supplies procurements.
