UNSPSC 50372002: Canned or jarred organic black satin blackberries

The variety of organic blackberries known as organic black satin blackberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50372002 Canned or jarred organic black satin blackberries, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments buy primarily through food-service procurement for institutional feeding — schools, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and social-service agencies. The recent solicitations under this code span a wider range of canned and jarred fruit items than the code name alone suggests; state and local buyers are actively procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit products, and broader fresh and preserved produce portfolios rather than specifically black satin blackberries. Counties, state departments, school districts, and state-supported living centers are the dominant issuing bodies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois (for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and the Oregon Department of Corrections have posted multiple food-procurement solicitations in the recent window, indicating sustained institutional demand for shelf-stable fruit products as components of larger food-service contracts.

Procurement activity is geographically dispersed across the Southeast, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026 (bids due June 2 and July 31, respectively), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with historical pricing around $21.82 per case and award to the lowest responsive bidder. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with due dates in June and August 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with a due date of October 19, 2026; delivery is required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026, with award to the lowest responsive bidder per unit of measure. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Austin Independent School District have also posted produce and dried-fruit procurement in the same window. This code shows steady activity across institutional food-service buyers but does not show high-volume single-commodity concentration in black satin blackberries specifically.
