UNSPSC 50376902: Canned or jarred organic bold gold tamarillo

The variety of organic tamarillo known as organic bold gold tamarillo that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376902 Canned or jarred organic bold gold tamarillo is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specialty preserved fruit product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the code's narrow specification. Recent opportunities posted under this code span general food-service provisioning for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, senior services, and nutrition centers—encompassing canned applesauce, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and broad commodity baskets rather than tamarillo specifically. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education and county services departments (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Bridgeport, Austin Independent School District), and city nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code may be incorrectly applied to procurement opportunities, or it serves as a catch-all placeholder within state procurement systems for specialty or miscellaneous canned fruit items that do not map cleanly to other UNSPSC food categories.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut based on the most recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an IFB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) with a 5 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based bidders; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office requesting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple solicitations posted in June and August 2026 with responses due June 17 and August 24); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners seeking informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, comprising 210 line items with an estimated potential value of $4.5 million over three years (IFB HHS0016792V2, response deadline March 19, 2026, since passed). No activity specific to tamarillo products appears in the recent opportunities block.
