UNSPSC 50364801: Canned or jarred bog myrtle

The variety of myrtle known as bog myrtle that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364801 Canned or jarred bog myrtle is a Commodity code that in practice has seen minimal direct procurement activity under its nominal definition; recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code predominantly solicit canned and packaged food products for institutional food service operations—specifically canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-line grocery and consumable supplies—rather than bog myrtle itself. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Rockwood R-VI Schools), county boards of education (Douglas County School System in Georgia), municipal purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and special-purpose state facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts dominate the mix, reflecting broad-based institutional demand for case-lot food products delivered on regular schedules to central warehouses and individual schools.

The geographic concentration is heavy in the South and Southwest—Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Liberty County, Muscogee County), Georgia (multiple school districts including Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, DCSS), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (Bridgeport)—with secondary activity in Illinois and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (Fruit Applesauce, bids due July 31, 2026, 4,760 cases at historically $21.84 per case, FOB destination Salem with 5% preference for Oregon goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (Dried Fruit Bars and Apple Crisps, due July 16, 2026, delivered to central warehouse); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (Fresh Produce and Eggs for 30 districts across two Georgia areas, due March 4, 2026, estimated spend $5.5 million annually). Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (Food and Consumable Products for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually) and Dallas ISD RFP JC250079 (Various Food Products for Food and Child Nutrition Services, due April 2, 2026, 2026-27 school year) show sustained demand across state health and education buyers. Buy American provisions and domestic-content preferences are standard; prevailing wage and insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million general liability typical) are consistent across issuers. Pricing typically remains firm for the contract period, with deliveries FOB destination on weekly or scheduled intervals to multiple school sites or central distribution points.
