UNSPSC 50375604 Canned or jarred organic kona sugarloaf pineapple, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products and packaged food items for institutional food service, though recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal activity targeting the specific product and instead reflect broader food commodity procurement across school districts, corrections agencies, state health facilities, and county nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home system), municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), and regional food service operations. Food procurement under related codes encompasses fresh produce, canned proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies; recent activity shows state and local agencies purchasing in bulk volume—ranging from 1,062 cases (Gwinnett County) to 4,760 cases (Oregon ODOC applesauce alone)—with firm fixed pricing per unit, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity standards and Buy American provisions where federal school lunch funding applies.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Texas, the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the Northeast (Connecticut, Illinois), with activity across multiple issuing-body types throughout 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, offering a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products across 210 line items with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years and a bid deadline of March 19, 2026. Pricing is typically bid as firm fixed unit rates, delivery occurs within 45–72 hours or as scheduled by purchasing agencies, and awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on a best-value basis. Vendors must maintain commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence depending on issuer), certify non-collusion, provide three vendor references, and comply with federal food and drug standards and applicable prevailing wage and immigration verification requirements.
