UNSPSC 50362103: Canned or jarred mountain bilberries

The variety of billberries known as mountain bilberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362103 Canned or jarred mountain bilberries is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes preserved bilberry products, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect state and local governments buying a much broader range of canned and preserved fruits — applesauce, pears, and mixed fruit products — as well as fresh produce, dried goods, and full food-service supply chains that include preserved fruits only as a subset of larger procurements. School districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and city boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition services accounting for the largest share of opportunities. When preserved fruit appears in recent solicitations, it is typically one line item among hundreds in multi-category food-service RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest: Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 (posted July 10, 2026; bids due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case, deliverable to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; proposals due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned goods for state-supported living centers with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 (posted February 22, 2026; due April 2, 2026) for various food products including preserved items for child nutrition services. The code shows limited standalone procurement activity; canned and jarred fruits appear embedded in much larger, heterogeneous food-supply solicitations where price, delivery performance, and compliance with Buy American and USDA commodity specifications drive competition rather than the specific fruit variety or preservation method.
