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 in practice captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products far more broadly than its nominal scope suggests. Recent solicitations show state departments, school districts, and other public bodies buying canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, and other shelf-stable fruit items under this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, and the Illinois Chief Procurement Office have all posted opportunities in the past two months seeking canned or dried fruit products with delivery to central distribution points, school nutrition warehouses, or state facilities. These procurements are structured as firm-fixed-price contracts with FOB destination terms, delivery windows of 30 to 60 days, and quantities ranging from roughly 1,900 cases (Oregon DOC applesauce, May 2026) to multi-thousand-case volumes for state institutional food service. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health agencies, school nutrition programs at independent and county district levels, and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of institutional food service operations.

The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southwest and Southeast, with recent activity in Oregon, Texas (multiple procurements), Illinois, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two applesauce bids (due dates June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026, ITB notices) with a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference and a 5 percent in-state headquarter preference, pricing near $21.84 per case delivered to Salem. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years and delivery to 23 qualified ordering entities across Texas. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) have posted broader grocery solicitations that include canned and fresh fruit, with response dates ranging from late March through late June 2026. The code shows sustained activity across institutional buyers with predictable annual contracting cycles tied to school years and state fiscal periods, though the concentration of recently posted opportunities in fruit products (applesauce, dried bars, fresh produce) rather than pomegranates specifically signals either broad code assignment by procurement offices or a mismatch between the nominal commodity name and actual buying practice.
