UNSPSC 50362710: Canned or jarred stevens cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50362710 Canned or jarred Stevens cranberries, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities posted over the past five months show school districts, state departments, and county boards soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and miscellaneous food service products—not canned cranberries. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested bids for supplemental food and consumables including frozen, fresh, and canned items across state hospitals and supported living centers. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests the code sees little or no relevant recent activity for canned cranberries specifically.

School nutrition programs drive the plurality of recent food procurement in this category tier. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Schools, Douglas County Schools), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and smaller municipal departments (City of Bridgeport). Contracts span fresh produce, canned fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees under RFP and IFB vehicles, with terms typically running July 1 through June 30 for school years and pricing remaining firm throughout the contract period. Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty, Douglas County school systems), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon DOC), with additional activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. The code as currently tagged does not capture the actual commodity being procured; business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before pursuing opportunities in this family.
