UNSPSC 50377026: Canned or jarred organic prickly pears

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

UNSPSC 50377026 Canned or jarred organic prickly pears is a Commodity code that in practice describes shelf-stable packaged produce and specialty food items purchased by state and local government food service operations. Recent opportunities solicited under this code span fresh and processed fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and consumable kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs, corrections departments, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veteran facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments (corrections, health and human services, education), county school boards, independent school districts, and county social services. The code appears to serve as a catch-all within state procurement systems for canned, jarred, and dried specialty produce items that fall outside primary commodity classifications, often bundled with broader food-service-supply solicitations rather than isolated to prickly pears alone.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Austin Independent School District, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (S2910000017453) with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide due March 19, 2026 (HHS0016792V2) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026 (27RFP004). Pricing in active awards is firm-fixed with transportation and delivery prepaid on FOB Destination terms; Buy American and domestic-content provisions appear consistently in school nutrition and state facility procurements.
