UNSPSC 50364700 Canned or jarred mulberries is a Class code that in practice captures state and local procurement of a broader range of canned and jarred fruit products, not mulberries specifically. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show purchasing activity centered on canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, canned fruit for institutional food service, and various fresh produce and specialty food items delivered to correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and related institutional settings. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school boards in Georgia and Missouri, and county school systems. A substantial portion of activity flows through school district nutrition programs, which use ITB, RFP, and RFQ methods to establish annual or multi-year supply contracts.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Midwest, with recent opportunities concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases due by July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing, with 10% combined preference for Oregon goods and vendors), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2, IFB covering 210 line items with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide).
