UNSPSC 50362708: Canned or jarred pilgrim cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50362708 Canned or jarred pilgrim cranberries is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are uniformly requesting canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food and consumable products for institutional food service — institutional cafeteria and nutrition programs at schools, state correctional facilities, health and human services facilities, and state hospitals. The code's narrow nominal scope (pilgrim cranberries specifically) bears no relationship to the food commodities and nutrition program procurements dominating recent activity, indicating a tagging mismatch rather than a coherent procurement category.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools), state agencies and departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic spread includes Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC facilities statewide, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Oregon (ODOC), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Illinois (statewide), Missouri (Rockwood), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center ($1.5 million historical annual value, response due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated $9 million annual expenditure (response due February 18, 2026).
