UNSPSC 50375602: Canned or jarred organic golden pineapple

The variety of organic pineapples known as organic golden pineapple that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375602 Canned or jarred organic golden pineapple is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products—primarily canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, supplemental food items, and fresh produce—for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and state supported living centers. Recent opportunities show that buyers are purchasing branded canned fruit, applesauce, and fresh produce under this code despite the nominal scope; the actual buys span broader fruit and produce categories beyond organic pineapple specifically. State and local issuing bodies range from county school districts (Hancock County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, and Dallas Independent School District) to state health and corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts dominate the recent activity, with nutrition programs driving most solicitations. Requirements typically include USDA commodity compliance, Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products, firm fixed pricing for contract periods ranging from one to three years, FOB destination delivery with transportation prepaid, General Liability Insurance of $1 million to $2 million, and compliance with federal food safety standards including HACCP plans where applicable. Evaluation favors lowest responsive and responsible bids meeting specifications, with many districts reserving the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026) with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering food delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026).
