UNSPSC 50375205: Canned or jarred organic golden granadilla passion fruit

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

UNSPSC 50375205 Canned or jarred organic golden granadilla passion fruit is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of shelf-stable food procurement — canned vegetables, fruits, applesauce, proteins, condiments, dairy, and related kitchen staples — rather than the single specialty item the code name suggests. State and local governments use this code to solicit food supplies for institutional food service operations including schools, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veteran facilities. Issuing bodies span county governments, state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), independent school districts, boards of education, and municipal purchasing offices. The mix reflects the dispersed, commodity-level nature of institutional food procurement across multiple service sectors and jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans multiple regions with concentration in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (June 2026 and May 2026, bids due June 2 and May 18 respectively, with a 5% Oregon-goods preference and 5% resident-bidder preference), while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million and a bid deadline of March 19, 2026. The Texas Comptroller's office procured cafeteria food products for the Department of Criminal Justice across five geographic areas with an extended response date of May 4, 2026. In Georgia, Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a due date of October 19, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for school year 2026-27 (bids due June 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, the State of Illinois (two quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and Austin Independent School District (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, RFP due July 16, 2026) round out recent activity. Delivery terms universally require FOB destination, firm pricing for initial contract periods, USDA and FDA compliance, and commercial general liability insurance; awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value basis.
