UNSPSC 50375204: Canned or jarred organic giant granadilla passion fruit

The variety of organic passion fruit known as organic giant granadilla passion fruit that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375204 Canned or jarred organic giant granadilla passion fruit, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty fruit product category within state and local food procurement, though recent opportunities show that state and local governments actually procure far broader canned and shelf-stable fruit inventories—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed canned vegetables and proteins—under this and related codes. The actual buying pattern reflects institutional food service for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior services centers, and school nutrition programs. While the code name specifies organic giant granadilla passion fruit, no recent solicitations target that specific item; instead, jurisdictions are sourcing generic canned fruits, applesauce, and dried fruit products as components of broader commodity food procurements. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia State), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport). State agencies and school nutrition programs dominate recent activity, with repeat buyers including the State of Illinois (weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple applesauce tenders), and Texas institutional food service for state hospitals and prisons.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with bids due July 31, 2026 (historical award price $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and bids due March 19, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for community services, quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal terms (proposals due August 24, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (proposals due July 16, 2026). Most solicitations use IFB or IWQ notice types with firm fixed pricing quoted per unit, FOB Destination delivery, and emphasis on USDA compliance, Buy American provisions where applicable, and vendor liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000.
