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 covering preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service, including schools, correctional facilities, state health agencies, and social services facilities. Recent solicitations show that while the code nominally references pineapple, state and local buyers are purchasing a broader range of canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and mixed preserved fruits—to support child nutrition programs, inmate meal services, and resident feeding at state-operated facilities. The issuing bodies span school districts (K–12 and centralized nutrition operations), state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, and county school boards, with repeat activity visible from Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school districts. Procurement patterns show firms bidding on commodity-grade canned fruit packed in juice, water, or light syrup, compliant with USDA standards and carrying minimum one-year shelf life requirements, with delivery to central warehouses or distribution centers on FOB destination basis and firm fixed pricing quoted per unit or per case.

Geographic spread includes strong recent activity in Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections issued two applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Dallas ISD), and Georgia (multiple school district IFBs and RFPs). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a 10 percent combined state preference and historical pricing at $21.84 per case; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruit items serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period spending of $1.5 million; and multiple Georgia school district RFPs and IFBs for fresh and processed fruit items as part of broader child nutrition procurement. Buy American provisions (domestic commodity content requirements of 51 percent for processed items) appear consistently across school-based solicitations, and prevailing wage or set-aside programs are generally absent from this commodity category, though state-level preferences apply in Oregon and Texas.
