UNSPSC 50376502: Canned or jarred organic black sapotes

The variety of organic sapotes known as organic black sapotes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376502 Canned or jarred organic black sapotes is a Commodity code that describes preserved whole or processed black sapotes in hermetically sealed containers. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific product directly; recent opportunities in the source tag canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed food-service commodities under the broader category of shelf-stable fruit and vegetable products for institutional food service. The code appears narrowly specialized and disconnected from the bulk of actual procurement activity under related Commodity codes for canned and jarred produce. Issuing bodies soliciting canned and jarred fruit products include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), counties (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), cities (Bridgeport), school districts (Austin Independent School District), and state-supported living centers. These agencies purchase canned applesauce, mixed canned vegetables, and preserved fruits as components of institutional nutrition programs, food service operations, and emergency supplies.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables including canned fruit products to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bid response deadline March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). No recent opportunities explicitly solicit canned or jarred organic black sapotes by name, indicating the Commodity code represents a niche product segment with minimal near-term procurement signals.
