UNSPSC 50371900: Canned or jarred organic bearberries

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

UNSPSC 50371900 Canned or jarred organic bearberries, a Class code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities tagged under this code actually solicit canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food and consumable categories for institutional food service — none of which are organic bearberries or bear any meaningful relationship to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic mis-tagging in source systems or that the code itself sees no active institutional procurement aligned to its stated commodity.

Across the recent opportunities, issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Austin and Dallas Independent School Districts in Texas), municipal school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), and city departments (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut). School districts and state institutional food-service agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with Georgia school systems appearing in multiple recent solicitations. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services serving approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools (estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million). Until the code's alignment with actual procurement improves, activity under this nominal code should be treated as a data-quality signal rather than a reliable market indicator for organic bearberry sourcing.
