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 encompasses a broader range of canned and jarred fruit products sourced by state and local food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food supply categories for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education), and municipal boards of education (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer category across recent opportunities, with multiple districts managing annual procurements for K–12 food service. State correctional and health service facilities also drive significant volume.

The geographic spread concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and DISD solicitations), Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Muscogee County school systems), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026, seeking 4,760 cases with delivery to Salem under a 10 percent Oregon-preference framework; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products due April 2, 2026, to serve the 2026–2027 school year. Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services anticipated approximately $9,000,000 in annual expenditure for 32 schools serving 25,500 students. Code-level procurement activity is robust and ongoing, with multiple school districts executing annual rolling solicitations and state-level food service consolidations driving large-value opportunities.
