UNSPSC 50372003: Canned or jarred organic boysenberries

A large bramble fruit with a raspberry flavor; the trailing hybrid bramble yielding this fruit and developed by crossing several blackberries and raspberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50372003 Canned or jarred organic boysenberries (Commodity) describes preserved berry products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service for detention facilities and state-operated care centers, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity directly targeting the specific commodity and instead reflect broader food procurement activity that includes canned fruit products as line items within larger, multi-category food supply contracts.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products in recent months span school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and others), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county school boards (Muscogee County, Douglas County). School nutrition represents the dominant issuing-body category, with repeated procurement activity across multiple districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut. Geographic spread centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida) and Mid-Atlantic regions, with meaningful activity also in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce procurement (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with a historical unit price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) spanning 210 line items including canned goods across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a three-year maximum value of $4.5 million; and the Dallas Independent School District's various food products RFP (RFP JC250079, due April 2, 2026) for multiple suppliers supporting the 2026-2027 school year. Most school nutrition procurements employ ITB or RFP methods with firm-fixed pricing required for annual contract periods running July through June, emphasizing Buy American compliance, USDA commodity specifications, and delivery to multiple school sites or central distribution points.
