UNSPSC 50375906: Canned or jarred organic pinkhan pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50375906 Canned or jarred organic pinkhan pomegranates is a Commodity code that covers preserved fruit products in rigid containers for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a diverse portfolio of canned and jarred fruit procurement by school districts, county boards of education, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and municipal nutrition services. While the code nominally specifies organic pomegranates, the actual buying activity reflects broader shelf-stable fruit procurement — canned applesauce dominates recent activity, with additional line items for canned vegetables, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce aggregated into multi-category food service RFPs and IFBs. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal nutrition services (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and county senior services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services in Georgia). School districts and state agencies managing institutional food service—prisons, veterans' homes, state supported living centers, and senior services—are the primary buyers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent postings from May through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (July 31, 2026 response date) with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years (March 19, 2026 response date); Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (October 19, 2026 response date); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh and preserved produce (June 26, 2026 response date). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear in school lunch procurements. Award typically goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit or per-case basis, with FOB Destination and prepaid freight standard across jurisdictions.
