UNSPSC 50375610: Canned or jarred organic variegated pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50375610 Canned or jarred organic variegated pineapple is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as part of broader food service procurement for institutional dining, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities—appearing in recent opportunities alongside dozens of other shelf-stable canned fruits, vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods rather than as a standalone line item. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal boards of education (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). The work solicited is typically part of competitive bidding for multi-line food supply contracts covering fresh and shelf-stable products; vendors must meet USDA grade and food-safety standards, provide firm fixed pricing, deliver on FOB destination terms, and often maintain backup inventory for emergency resupply. School districts and state agencies frequently invoke Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content, and several use brand-or-equal specifications allowing substitution of equivalent products.

Recent activity appears across the Southeast and West with notable concentration in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, and Oregon. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ (informal written quote) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office released two related RFPs on August 19, 2026 for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with an August 24 deadline; the Oregon Department of Corrections posted an ITB on July 10, 2026 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31) and again on May 18, 2026 for 1,904 cases (due June 2); Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP on June 26, 2026 (due July 16); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB on May 19, 2026 for supplemental food and consumables including 210 line items (due March 19, 2026, with maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years). Most contracts run for twelve months with optional renewals, delivery concentrated within 45 to 60 days of order, and awards typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or by best value determination.
