UNSPSC 50372201: Canned or jarred organic bluecrop blueberries

The variety of organic blueberries known as organic bluecrop blueberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50372201 Canned or jarred organic bluecrop blueberries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for food service operations—primarily institutional cafeterias, senior centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities show that while the code's nominal scope names a specific berry variety, state and local buyers actually solicit more broadly across canned fruit categories, with applesauce, mixed fruits, and other preserved fruit appearing frequently alongside or instead of bluecrop blueberries specifically. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and special institutional buyers (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Procurement volumes are substantial—ranging from roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases per opportunity—and awards favor sealed competitive bids (IFB, ITB) over RFPs, with response dates typically 10 to 45 days from posting.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut based on recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two canned applesauce solicitations (May 18 and July 10, 2026 ITBs) totaling nearly 7,000 cases across two distinct procurements, offering a 10 percent combined state-goods and resident-bidder preference. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice together represent multiple large food-service buys across state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities—including a $1.5 million annual supplemental food contract (IFB HHS0017449, June 2026) and a 382-line-item cafeteria foods procurement for TDCJ (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). School nutrition programs in Georgia (Hancock County Schools fresh-produce IFB, June 26, 2026) and Texas (Austin ISD RFP for dried fruit bars, July 16, 2026) and Connecticut (Bridgeport commodities IFB, June 26, 2026) show sustained demand. Canned applesauce bids in Oregon have trended at approximately $21.82–$21.84 per case historically. All institutional buyers enforce Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed products), require firm fixed pricing over contract terms typically 12 months with optional renewals, and demand USDA compliance, delivery to specific warehouse locations, and proof of liability insurance.
