UNSPSC 50375908: Canned or jarred organic wonderful pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50375908 Canned or jarred organic wonderful pomegranates is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of shelf-stable fruit products, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly seek canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader categories of food and consumable supplies for institutional food service rather than specifically pomegranate products. The actual buying activity reflects procurement by school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and municipal nutrition centers for cafeteria and institutional meal programs. Scope includes sealed bids and RFPs for canned fruit, applesauce, and dried fruit items delivered on FOB destination terms to central distribution centers and school warehouses. Issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state correctional and health facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Homes, Texas HHSC), county government food assistance (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and municipal school nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport). Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit or per-case basis, with contracts commonly running twelve months or longer with optional renewal periods.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce—S2910000016975 (due June 2, 2026) and S2910000017453 (due July 31, 2026)—each soliciting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases with firm pricing quoted per case, Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences of five percent each, and historical award prices around $21.83 per case. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and HHSC have issued multiple IFBs for cafeteria and institutional food products spanning dozens of line items with FOB destination delivery to statewide warehouse networks.
