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 is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned or jarred berries preserved in juice, syrup, or other liquid media for use in institutional food service and supply operations. State and local governments procure this product through a mix of state agencies, county boards of education, city and county nutrition departments, and special-purpose institutional facilities including correctional departments, veterans homes, state supported living centers, and school districts. The recent procurement activity shows requests for canned fruit products as part of broader food service line-item procurements rather than standalone boysenberry-specific bids; recent opportunities under related codes such as canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC) and general commodities bundles (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Bridgeport Board of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) indicate that canned or jarred fruit products are consistently bundled with other shelf-stable foods, proteins, and consumables in institutional food service contracting.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent state and local food service procurements. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026 via informal written quote), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September–December 2026 (proposals due August 24, 2026 under brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFP formats), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales (bids due July 31, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical monetary value of $1.5 million for the prior contract period (proposals due July 13, 2026). While canned boysenberries are not explicitly named in the recent opportunities block, the code's scope aligns with the broader canned-fruit procurement patterns visible in institutional food service bids across these jurisdictions.
