UNSPSC 50376906: Canned or jarred organic red delight tamarillo

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

UNSPSC 50376906 Canned or jarred organic red delight tamarillo (Commodity) does not correspond to the actual procurement activity appearing in recent state and local solicitations. The code's nominal scope—a single exotic fruit preserve or canned item—bears no relation to the food-service purchasing that state and local buyers are conducting under this code tag. Recent opportunities solicited under this code encompass broad-based institutional food procurement: shelf-stable staples (proteins, grains, canned vegetables, condiments), fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy products, and kitchen consumables for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state veterans' homes. The issuing-body mix spans state corrections and health agencies (Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Oregon DOC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), and municipal purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). This fragmentation reflects the decentralized nature of institutional food procurement across facilities with distinct operational and budget cycles.

Geographic spread includes Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ facilities statewide, Austin ISD), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (ODOC Salem distribution), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including proteins, grains, sauces, and canned vegetables delivered to Lawrenceville, Georgia); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (responses due March 19, 2026, with an estimated contract value of up to $4.5 million over three years).
