UNSPSC 50362705: Canned or jarred lingonberries

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

UNSPSC 50362705 Canned or jarred lingonberries is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct state and local procurement activity; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for lingonberries specifically. State and local governments do, however, purchase canned and jarred fruit products under related codes, as evidenced by recent school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri that include canned applesauce, canned fruit, and related preserved fruits as line items within broader food-service contracts. The issuing bodies pursuing these contracts span school districts (including Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Education), and institutional food service operations at state hospitals and supported living centers.

The code shows no recent dedicated opportunities for lingonberries as a standalone item or primary procurement focus. When canned fruit appears in state and local nutrition and food service bidding, it is typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food products under broad IFB, RFP, or ITB notices for grocery or commodity supply. For example, the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (similar preserved fruit category) with a due date of July 31, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables including canned goods across state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million; and multiple school districts across Georgia and Texas issued RFPs and IFBs for annual food supply that encompass canned fruit as components of multi-thousand-line-item inventories. No active market for lingonberries as a discrete procurement category is evident in the recent opportunities reviewed. Vendors targeting this code should expect competition primarily within large consolidated food-service contracts rather than dedicated single-product solicitations.
