UNSPSC 50362002: Canned or jarred black satin blackberries

The variety of blackberries known as black satin blackberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362002 Canned or jarred black satin blackberries, a Commodity code, does not see direct procurement activity in the recent state and local opportunities block. The code's nominal scope—specialty canned berries—diverges from what state and local governments actually buy under this category right now, which centers on broad food service procurement for institutional feeding programs rather than single-commodity berry products.

State and local procurement under food-service codes in this tier reflects institutional nutrition demand across school districts, corrections agencies, health and human services facilities, and state health systems. Recent opportunities demonstrate that purchasing bodies buy canned and jarred fruits as components of larger food-service bundles—notably applesauce, produce, and mixed grocery items—rather than as standalone line items. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026) under a separate code; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items including canned goods (bid due March 19, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought cafeteria food products across 382 line items with produce and canned vegetables embedded within broader food-service RFPs. School districts from Fairfax County, Virginia (Master Grocery K-12 procurement, April 2026) to Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (over 900 grocery line items, April 2026) and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (fresh and processed produce, April 2026) solicit food in consolidated bundles through single or multiple-award contracts rather than as category-specific purchases. The purchasing mix spans state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, state-supported living centers, school districts of varying size, and board of education nutrition programs. Geographic activity centers on Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, multiple school districts), Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County school systems), Oregon (corrections), Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Virginia (Fairfax County). No recent opportunities specifically name canned blackberries or similar specialty berry products as line-item buys; the code shows minimal direct procurement relevance in current state and local food-service activity.
