UNSPSC 50377006: Canned or jarred organic canistel

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

UNSPSC 50377006 Canned or jarred organic canistel, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to the specific product; instead, the code appears tagged on broader food-service and nutrition solicitations that encompass shelf-stable produce, canned fruits, and processed food items for institutional feeding programs. The work actually being bought under this category centers on aggregated food procurement for schools, corrections facilities, state hospitals, senior services, and state-supported living centers—purchases that bundle canned fruits and vegetables with proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments rather than organic canistel as a standalone line item. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Bridgeport), school districts (Austin Independent School District), and specialized state facilities. Recent solicitations are RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs with response dates clustered between May and October 2026.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables and proteins) for the Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026, as an RFQ; the State of Illinois issuing multiple ITBs for quarterly weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, most recently due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections posting an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem with bids due July 31, 2026 and a historical award price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements are standard; Oregon offers combined state-origin preferences of up to 10 percent. The code shows active but fragmented procurement under institutional food-service frameworks rather than specialized organic canistel demand.
