UNSPSC 50377030: Canned or jarred organic roselle

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

UNSPSC 50377030 Canned or jarred organic roselle (Commodity) covers shelf-stable preserved fruit and vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show the code capturing a much broader range of canned and preserved food items—including applesauce, mixed vegetables, proteins, and other shelf-stable staples—rather than roselle specifically. Issuing bodies span county nutrition and senior services departments, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and municipal education boards. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District in Texas, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut have all posted procurement activity recently. The pattern shows repeat buyers among state corrections departments and state health agencies procuring weekly or quarterly food supplies for institutional populations, alongside school districts and county senior services centers purchasing shelf-stable items for nutrition programs and food banks.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with scattered activity in other states. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229), delivering to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales (ITB S-29100-00017453); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's proposal for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for the fourth quarter of FY-27 due August 24, 2026, posted as both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period (IFB HHS0017449). Delivery typically requires FOB destination terms with inside delivery to central warehouse or distribution facilities, and most solicitations enforce Buy American or domestic-content requirements where applicable.
