UNSPSC 50362704: Canned or jarred howe cranberries

The variety of cranberries known as howe cranberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362704 Canned or jarred home cranberries, a Commodity code, shows limited direct procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader food supply contracts rather than cranberries specifically. State and local food service buyers—school districts, state agencies managing institutional facilities, and county education systems—are posting opportunities for commodity food products at volume, but the recent record does not support active market demand for canned or jarred cranberries as a standalone line item. The actual procurement activity captured under this code designation spans general food service supply (including fruits, vegetables, proteins, and staple items), with issuing bodies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut, and various county and city education agencies. The pattern reflects a fragmented landscape of regional school district purchasing, state institutional feeding, and cooperative buying arrangements rather than concentrated procurement by a handful of large buyers.

Geographic activity is heaviest in the South and Midwest—Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Connecticut dominate recent postings—with secondary activity in Oregon and broader state-level procurement across Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response deadline) seeking 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center; the Douglas County School System RFP 26-004 (March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated spending of $5.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens. The code itself shows no meaningful recent procurement specific to canned or jarred cranberries; the mismatch between the nominal commodity and the solicitations tagged with it suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that cranberry products are bundled into broader fruit or commodity categories rather than procured as a discrete line item.
