UNSPSC 50376500: Canned or jarred organic sapotes

The type of organic fruit known as organic sapotes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376500 Canned or jarred organic sapotes (Class) represents a narrow commodity category within the broader food-supply procurement activity of state and local governments, though recent solicitations show the code draws minimal standalone attention. State and local buyers pursuing this code are school districts, corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and county social-service boards—all operating institutional food programs. The scope of work is the procurement of shelf-stable, canned or jarred fruit products to supply cafeterias, nutrition centers, correctional facilities, senior services, and state supported living centers. Recent solicitations under this and closely adjacent codes (such as canned applesauce and dried fruit bars) reveal that state and local governments buy food items in bulk—typically cases or truckloads—with firm fixed pricing quoted on a per-unit basis, delivery to designated warehouse or campus locations, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards, minimum shelf-life guarantees, and adherence to Buy American provisions where applicable.

Geographic activity spans multiple states: Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016975 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce due June 2, 2026 (with a five percent Oregon-goods preference and five percent resident-bidder preference), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions due May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21), and the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Pricing in recent awards has ranged from approximately $21.83 to $21.85 per case for canned applesauce. The code shows episodic rather than continuous activity; most recent volume flows through adjacent commodity codes for broader food categories rather than sapotes specifically.
