UNSPSC 50375902: Canned or jarred organic granada pomegranates

The variety of organic pomegranates known as organic granada pomegranates that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375902 Canned or jarred organic granada pomegranates is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products, though recent solicitations show the code being applied more broadly to general canned and processed fruit items than to pomegranates specifically. State and local governments buying under this code purchase canned applesauce, canned fruit, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce for food service operations—including school nutrition programs, county senior services, state institutions, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The mix reflects the breadth of institutional food service across K–12 education, corrections, veterans' housing, state-supported living centers, and community services.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with Oregon, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut all posting multiple opportunities in the past five months. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid (ITB S-29100-00017453) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at approximately $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026, offering a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon goods and vendors; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's proposals for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, due August 24, 2026); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026. Procurements commonly specify USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (particularly in school nutrition programs), firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $2 million in general commercial liability.
