UNSPSC 50367009: Canned or jarred dewberries

The type of fruit known as dewberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367009 Canned or jarred dewberries (Commodity) sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly matching this code's scope, though related canned-fruit solicitations reveal the actual purchasing patterns for preserved fruit products in school nutrition, institutional food service, and state agency operations. State and local governments buying under this code purchase canned and jarred preserved fruits—chiefly applesauce, pears, and mixed fruit—for delivery to school district food service centers, state correctional facilities, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and institutional dining operations. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois), county and city school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), and a municipal education entity (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education). School districts dominate the recent-opportunities mix, soliciting canned fruit as a line item within broader grocery and food-supply contracts; state institutional buyers (corrections, health services) solicit canned fruit more discretely.

Recent opportunities show Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent preference available for Oregon-sourced goods and Oregon-based bidders; Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables including canned items statewide under IFB HHS0016792 with a response deadline of February 23, 2026 (later amended from February 16) and a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; and Dallas Independent School District seeking various food products including specialty and non-commodity items under RFP JC250079 due April 2, 2026, for delivery to the Maria Luna Food Service Facilities Warehouse for the 2026-2027 school year. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear consistently across school district solicitations, with most requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. No recent solicitations tagged explicitly to UNSPSC 50367009 were posted; canned fruit procurement flows through broader commodity-food and grocery line-item bids rather than as discrete specialty-product opportunities.
