UNSPSC 50376005: Canned or jarred organic pink pomelo

The variety of organic pomelos known as organic pink pomelo that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376005 Canned or jarred organic pink pomelo is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as part of broader food-service procurement for institutional cafeterias, nutrition centers, and food-distribution programs, though recent solicitations under this code focus on canned and shelf-stable fruit products more broadly rather than pomelo specifically. The issuing bodies span county school nutrition departments, state departments of corrections and health and human services, city boards of education, and county boards of commissioners. Recent opportunities show institutional food buyers acquiring canned applesauce, canned fruit, and dried fruit products alongside fresh produce and protein staples to support corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, school lunch programs, and senior services operations. The sourcing pattern reflects recurring seasonal purchasing cycles tied to fiscal-year transitions and contract renewal periods.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona, with Georgia and Texas representing the most active recent buyers. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award price $21.84 per case) delivered to Salem with preference programs favoring Oregon-sourced goods; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and contract terms through August 2028; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 extended IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas with response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Institutional buyers regularly impose Buy American provisions, insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general commercial liability), and delivery-within-days-of-order clauses; awards typically go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders, though some jurisdictions reserve the right to split awards by line item or vendor.
