UNSPSC 50362010: Canned or jarred navaho blackberries

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

UNSPSC 50362010 Canned or jarred Navaho blackberries is a Commodity code that sees recent state and local procurement activity focused on canned fruit products more broadly, with the code's specific blackberry scope appearing tangentially in recent solicitations that tag wider fruit inventories. Recent opportunities under or adjacent to this code span school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services operations, with issuing bodies including state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, county boards of education, and city school systems. The scope of work solicited extends beyond blackberries to encompass canned applesauce, canned pears, and dried fruit products, all meeting USDA commodity specifications, packed in juice or light syrup, maintaining minimum one-year shelf lives, and delivered FOB destination with firm fixed pricing quoted on a per-unit or per-case basis. Issuing bodies range from large independent school districts managing multi-year food supply contracts to state corrections and health facilities serving concentrated populations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with significant procurement from Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, delivery within 60 days, due July 31, 2026) applying 10 percent Oregon-product preference, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (210 line items including canned goods, due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million). School district activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with Hancock County Schools soliciting fresh produce alongside processed items under IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) and multiple Texas school districts issuing RFPs for nutritionally compliant food products with firm fixed pricing and Buy American compliance requirements. No recent solicitations have named canned or jarred Navaho blackberries specifically; the code's recent activity aligns with broader canned-fruit and school-nutrition procurement where products meet federal commodity standards and USDA grade specifications.
