UNSPSC 50362709: Canned or jarred searless cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50362709 Canned or jarred searless cranberries is a Commodity code describing shelf-stable preserved cranberry products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct procurement activity under this specific code. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are actively buying canned and jarred fruit products across closely related categories—canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—as part of broader food service contracts for correctional facilities, schools, and supported living centers. The issuing bodies driving this activity are primarily school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Schools, Douglas County School System), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). School districts dominate the mix, with nutrition procurement occurring annually across most states for the K-12 market; state health and corrections agencies procure food supplies for institutional populations on comparable annual or multi-year cycles.

Recent opportunities show the code's economic activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school district fresh-produce and prepared-food bids representing the highest volume and frequency. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case delivered to Salem, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period expenditure of $1.5 million annually. School districts issue comparable food-service RFPs and IFBs year-round with July 1 through June 30 contract cycles; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, posted March 22, 2026, due April 23, 2026) and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-003, posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) solicit produce and main-line food distributors serving 25,000 to 60,000 students. Buy American and domestic-content preferences (typically 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products) appear consistently across school and state agency bids. The code itself shows no tagged recent opportunities, suggesting either sparse demand for canned cranberries specifically or miscoding by issuing bodies; canned fruit categories see regular procurement, but cranberry products do not appear in the recent sample.
