UNSPSC 50377020: Canned or jarred organic mangosteens

The type of organic fruit known as organic mangosteens that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50377020 Canned or jarred organic mangosteens is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity bearing any relationship to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, food service staples for correctional and health facilities, and school nutrition supplies—none of which involve mangosteens or organic preservation methods specific to that commodity. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification in the source jurisdictions' procurement systems or that the code itself serves as a catch-all for broader canned and processed fruit categories. State and local governments buying under this code's tag include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts (including independent school districts and county boards of education), and city procurement offices. The issuing bodies span multiple states and jurisdictions with no geographic concentration; recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state of Illinois, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education, Hancock County and Douglas County school systems in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Liberty County and Muscogee County school districts in Georgia.

Representative recent solicitations reveal the actual scope being purchased: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response date July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District released RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response date July 16, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including fresh produce, canned goods, and staples for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response date July 13, 2026). School district activity dominates the recent pipeline, with multiple simultaneous procurements for fresh produce, eggs, and packaged food items across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia—typically posted between February and July 2026 with response dates clustered in late April through July. Geographic spread spans the South and Midwest (Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the Northeast (Connecticut), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with no standout concentration. The code shows steady but unspecialized activity driven by institutional food service demand rather than specific interest in organic, canned mangosteens or any commodity narrower than "fruits and vegetables for public institutions."
