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, sees minimal direct procurement activity under its nominal scope in state and local contracting; recent opportunities show instead that jurisdictions are buying canned and fresh fruit products far more broadly — applesauce, pears, produce, and mixed grocery items — across correction facilities, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, and others), counties (Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County, Muscogee County), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition procurement dominates the recent activity, with districts and cooperative purchasing groups across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia soliciting food products regularly; state institutional buyers (corrections, health services, supported living centers) appear as secondary but consistent customers. Vendors should note that the code's nominal product — organic akee — does not surface in any recent opportunity; procurement under this code appears to route through broader canned-fruit and commodity categories instead.

Geographic concentration is heavy in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with additional activity in the Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Connecticut) and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, under a 10% Oregon-goods-and-residency preference structure; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery across 45 schools, due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45, Buy American provisions apply in school nutrition and state-agency procurements, and liability insurance minimums range from $1 million to $2 million. Bidders should track school-district fiscal-year cycles (July 1 start dates predominate) and state institutional demand patterns, which show sustained volume but little margin for pricing volatility.
