UNSPSC 50364800: Canned or jarred bayberries or myrtles

The type of fruit known as bayberries or myrtles that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364800 Canned or jarred bayberries or myrtles (Class) does not match the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under this code. The solicitations posted under 50364800 span general food service and cafeteria supplies for counties, school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities—including fresh produce, dried fruit bars, applesauce, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable food items—rather than specialty preserved bayberries or myrtles. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that this narrowly defined commodity code has been repurposed to capture broader food service procurement within state and local jurisdictions' internal classification systems. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, municipal boards of education, and county purchasing offices.

The recent opportunities span Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller for Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative procurements include Gwinnett County's request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, with historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's bid for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide across 210 line items with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026); and the Texas Comptroller's invitation for cafeteria food products for Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations spanning approximately 382 line items (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026). Procurements are issued as IFBs, RFPs, and informal quotations, with delivery typically FOB destination and contract terms running one to three years with renewal or extension options.
