UNSPSC 50377017: Canned or jarred organic jambolan

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

UNSPSC 50377017 Canned or jarred organic jambolan, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its abstract classification and recent state and local purchasing activity. The code's nominal scope—organic preserved fruit in bottles or cans—does not match the actual work being solicited under this tag. Recent opportunities filed under this code involve canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District), fresh produce and eggs (multiple school districts), and comprehensive food-service procurement across state institutions and detention facilities. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Dallas ISD), and county institutions (Muscogee County School District). The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to organic jambolan or specialty preserved fruits; instead it functions as a catch-all tag for broader food-service and nutrition procurement across state agencies, schools, and custodial facilities.

Geographic activity spans Texas (Dallas ISD, HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Hancock County), Oregon (ODOC), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), Illinois (State CPO), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia school districts, estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area, due March 4, 2026). The code's continued use for items outside its nominal scope suggests either miscategorization in issuing-office systems or scope drift in how state and local procurement offices apply commodity codes. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should treat it as a signal of general food-service nutrition procurement rather than a precise commodity match and verify actual requirements against each solicitation.
