UNSPSC 50377027: Canned or jarred organic quenepas

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

UNSPSC 50377027, Canned or jarred organic quenepas (Commodity), represents a narrow specialty food category that state and local governments source primarily through broader food-service and nutrition procurement programs rather than as standalone line items. Recent state and local solicitations show that the code sits within much larger commodity food buys—multi-item RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs that bundle shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fruits, and prepared foods alongside specialty produce for school nutrition, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The work being solicited encompasses food delivery to school districts, county senior services centers, state corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, and state hospitals, with vendors required to meet USDA commodity specifications, FDA standards, temperature and shelf-life requirements, commercial liability insurance minimums (typically $1 million per occurrence), and compliance with Buy American provisions in education settings.

State and local issuing bodies across the sample include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Recent solicitation activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut, with the most granular opportunities in June and July 2026 including a Gwinnett County IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (PE77023NONST2027000000782); an Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (S2910000017453); and a Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, bid closing March 19, 2026 (HHS0016792V2). The code shows no standout repeat buyer in the sample, and the sourcing pattern suggests that organic quenepas, when procured, are absorbed within general canned fruit or specialty produce line items under much larger institutional food contracts rather than generating dedicated solicitations.
