UNSPSC 50362013: Canned or jarred tayberries

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

UNSPSC 50362013 Canned or jarred tayberries (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The opportunities posted reflect broad food-service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and state healthcare institutions, but none specifically solicit canned or jarred tayberries; instead, the records show requests for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, grocery staples, and supplemental food products for institutional food service operations. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied to these solicitations or sees limited relevant activity in the state and local market.

Across the recent opportunities, issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), state correctional and healthcare agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal nutrition services (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). The geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). School nutrition contracts typically run July through June, require firm fixed pricing, include Buy American provisions and federal nutrition standards, and award on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value criteria.
