UNSPSC 50375603: Canned or jarred organic hilo pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50375603 Canned or jarred organic hilo pineapple (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable pineapple products in canned or jarred form, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct activity under this specific code. The few opportunities tagged to this commodity reflect broader food-service procurement by counties, school districts, and state agencies purchasing packaged and fresh produce alongside other shelf-stable items. When the code does surface, it appears within multi-item food buys where pineapple is one line item among dozens of vegetables, fruits, proteins, and pantry staples. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county social services departments, state corrections and health-service agencies, municipal school districts, and state health and human services commissions. These jurisdictions typically consolidate produce and commodity purchasing into single RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs that span multiple UNSPSC codes at once, making isolated pursuit of pineapple-specific opportunities impractical; vendors in this space compete on ability to fill mixed-produce line items within larger food-service contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (June 26, 2026 due date) spanning over 200 line items delivered to three school sites through June 2027, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (March 19, 2026 deadline, max potential value $4.5 million over three years) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers across multiple USDA-regulated product categories. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued repeated canned-fruit applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026) with 5 percent Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident-bidder preferences. The Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy has posted multiple quarterly food-order RFPs (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) on the state procurement office. Activity is sparse; pineapple procurement does not appear as a standalone solicitation in recent months, and meaningful opportunity pursuit requires vendor positioning within larger food-service frameworks offered by institutional buyers rather than targeting canned pineapple in isolation.
