UNSPSC 50372015: Canned or jarred organic youngberries

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

UNSPSC 50372015 Canned or jarred organic youngberries, a Commodity code, covers preserved fruit products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code sees minimal direct activity for the specified commodity and instead reflects broader canned and jarred fruit procurement across corrections, school nutrition, and health facilities. The issuing bodies are a mix of state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Dallas ISD, Hancock County, Douglas County), and county school systems, with school nutrition programs representing the largest segment of recent activity. Work being solicited under the code includes canned applesauce, canned fruit products, dried fruit bars, fresh produce and eggs, frozen entrees, and comprehensive commodity and food-service supply contracts encompassing dozens to hundreds of line items delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites, cafeterias, correctional facilities, and state hospitals. The abstract code name does not align well with the recent opportunity mix, which spans fresh, frozen, processed, and specialty food items rather than specifically organic youngberries.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia school systems (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Texas entities (DISD, HHSC, TDCJ Comptroller), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026, historical award $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items (bids due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (proposals due March 4, 2026). All recent school nutrition procurements mandate Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products, firm fixed pricing for contract periods, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses within specified windows, typically Monday through Friday during business hours.
