UNSPSC 50372704: Canned or jarred organic howe cranberries

The variety of organic cranberries known as organic howe cranberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50372704 Canned or jarred organic howe cranberries is a Commodity code capturing shelf-stable fruit products that state and local food-service operations procure for institutional nutrition programs, senior services, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed produce items—rather than cranberries specifically, suggesting the code captures a broader shelf-stable fruit family than its title alone indicates. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, state veterans homes, cities, and county senior services divisions. The mix spans rural and urban jurisdictions, with repeat buyers including the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the State of Oregon (Department of Corrections), and the State of Texas (Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut.
