UNSPSC 50377001: Canned or jarred organic akee

The type of organic fruit known as organic akee that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50377001 Canned or jarred organic akee, a Commodity code, reflects minimal recent activity in state and local procurement — the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching the code's nominal scope. The opportunities tagged under this code instead cover broad food-service procurement across categories including canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and general cafeteria and institutional food supplies. State and local governments do purchase canned and jarred specialty items through food-service contracts, but the code shows no current demand signal for organic akee specifically, and the mismatch between the code name and the actual goods being procured suggests the code may not be the active taxonomy entry for these categories in the jurisdictions posting opportunities.

The recent solicitations span diverse issuing bodies — county boards of education and boards of commissioners (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Austin Independent School District in Texas), state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of criminal-justice and health agencies (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with opportunities posted from May through October 2026. Representative recent procurements include Gwinnett County's IWQ requesting 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; and Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items serving state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Pursuit of opportunities under this code would benefit from alignment with the actual food-service categories state and local governments are actively soliciting rather than reliance on the akee designation alone.
