UNSPSC 50372007: Canned or jarred organic jostaberries

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

UNSPSC 50372007 Canned or jarred organic jostaberries (Commodity) represents a niche line item within the broader state and local food procurement ecosystem, where recent activity shows minimal specific demand for this product type itself and instead reflects the code's capture within larger shelf-stable food and consumables solicitations. State and local governments buying under this Commodity code are primarily acquiring general canned and jarred food inventory—proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and related shelf-stable staples—for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), and specialized state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Procurement methods include IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quotes, with response dates ranging from early June through late October 2026.

Recent solicitations show concentrated activity in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable recent opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County's informal quote for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, and the State of Georgia's broader food-and-kitchen-products bid due June 22, 2026), Texas (HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB with a $4.5 million three-year potential value, and TDCJ's cafeteria-food-products IFB for 382 line items), Oregon (ODOC's repeated canned-applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders, brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport's commodities bid for 115 line items). Buy American provisions and domestic-content preferences appear routinely in school-district and state-agency solicitations. No recent solicitations explicitly reference canned or jarred organic jostaberries as a specification line item; the code appears to be a catch-all classification within generic food-service categories rather than a frequently targeted commodity in current state and local procurement.
