UNSPSC 50377004: Canned or jarred organic baobab

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

UNSPSC 50377004 Canned or jarred organic baobab is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable processed fruit products, particularly canned applesauce and dried fruit bars, procured by state and local food service operations including corrections departments, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps—as components of broader food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty items. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, city school districts, and independent school districts, with no single dominant repeat buyer but consistent activity across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce including apples for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requesting informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and produce (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois has posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants). Austin Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Additional food-service procurements in Connecticut, Texas, and Georgia include fruit products as line items within broader commodity buys. Oregon applies a 5 percent preference each for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors; Georgia Buy American provisions require 51 percent domestic content in processed products.
