UNSPSC 50375605: Canned or jarred organic natal queen pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50375605 Canned or jarred organic natal queen pineapple is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable, packaged fruit products for institutional food service—though recent opportunities show the code being tagged to a broader range of canned and jarred produce, fresh fruit, and dried-fruit items rather than the narrow scope suggested by the code name alone. State and local governments purchase under this code primarily to support nutrition programs in correctional facilities, schools, senior-services centers, state hospitals, and health and human services facilities. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city school districts, and county boards of commissioners. The solicitations reflect a mix of shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, and fruits delivered in bulk quantities to central distribution centers or facility-specific sites, with emphasis on USDA compliance, brand-or-equal specifications, competitive unit pricing, and domestic-content preferences where applicable.

Recent activity spans multiple states, with Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posting solicitations in the past five months. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 and 4,760 cases respectively) in May and July 2026 with responses due June 2 and July 31, each applying a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0016792V2 with a March 19, 2026 response deadline and a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with an October 19, 2026 deadline, and Austin Independent School District pursued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with a July 16, 2026 response date. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia bid fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year in June 2026, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicited commodities for its nutrition center under a June 26, 2026 bid deadline with MBE/CBE eligibility applicable.
