UNSPSC 50377018: Canned or jarred organic jujube

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

UNSPSC 50377018 Canned or jarred organic jujube is a Commodity code that in practice covers institutional food procurement for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers—though the recent record shows no activity specifically for jujube products. Instead, state and local buyers soliciting under this code or closely related food-commodity codes are purchasing shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products including applesauce, as well as broader food baskets spanning canned proteins, vegetables, and dried fruit items for food service operations. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county senior services, independent school districts, and municipal school boards. Buyers emphasize compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions (where applicable), proper labeling, undamaged condition on delivery, and firm fixed pricing. Delivery typically occurs on FOB Destination terms with inside delivery required, and awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder unless best-value language applies.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,904 cases in May 2026 and 4,760 cases in July 2026), with historical pricing near $21.84 per case and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem on a quarterly truck-load schedule. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with a response deadline of October 19, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million) and a separate IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million annually). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with delivery to the central warehouse. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut both conducted fresh and processed produce/commodity procurements for school nutrition centers.
