UNSPSC 50366703: Canned or jarred ever bearing strawberries

The variety of strawberries known as ever bearing strawberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366703 Canned or jarred ever bearing strawberries is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned and jarred strawberry products for institutional food service, typically as line items within broader food procurement solicitations serving correctional facilities, schools, health and human services centers, senior services, and state hospitals. The work being solicited is straightforward commodity supply—vendors respond to bids and RFPs with pricing on canned strawberries meeting USDA commodity or FDA standards, often specified as sweetened or unsweetened variants in their own juice or light syrup, with minimum shelf-life requirements and delivery to central distribution or warehouse locations. School districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, and county government departments of community services issue solicitations under this code. The issuing bodies vary across social services, nutrition, and facility support functions within the same jurisdiction, though no single entity emerges as a dominant repeat buyer in the recent opportunity set.

Procurement activity under this code concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Oregon, and Illinois based on the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026, submitted as informal quotes rather than formal bids); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for quarterly periods (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, multiple solicitations with August 2026 response dates); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bids for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years, bid deadline March 19, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's electronics bids for commodities supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center (115 line items, due June 26, 2026, subject to Buy American provisions and MBE/CBE preferences). Most solicitations require firm, fixed pricing quoted per unit or per case, FOB destination delivery with transportation prepaid by the contractor, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards, and commercial general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence.
