UNSPSC 50375600 Canned or jarred organic pineapples is a Class code. State and local governments buy canned and jarred fruit products—including applesauce, pineapples, and dried fruit bars—for food service at schools, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, senior services programs, and county nutrition operations. The scope spans shelf-stable fruit items meeting USDA commodity specifications, with delivery to centralized warehouses, distribution centers, or individual facility locations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health and human services, school districts, county social services departments, and city boards of education. Recent solicitations show repeat procurement from the Oregon Department of Corrections (two applesauce ITBs in 2026), the State of Illinois for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly food orders), and county school systems across Georgia and other states. The code shows active volume procurement—individual contracts span 1,904 to 4,760 cases of single-item fruit products, with contract values in the millions when aggregated across multi-year terms and line-item bundles.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington), with solicitations also from Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (historical award price $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with due dates of August 24, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; and Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026.

Contract terms typically run 12 months with renewal and extension options available at issuing-body discretion.
