UNSPSC 50372705: Canned or jarred organic lingonberries

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

UNSPSC 50372705 Canned or jarred organic lingonberries is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, senior centers, and state-supported living centers, though recent solicitations show no standalone demand for organic lingonberries specifically. The recent opportunities under this code consistently feature shelf-stable, canned, and jarred food products purchased in bulk — canned applesauce, canned vegetables, canned proteins, and jarred goods — as components of larger food-supply contracts rather than as specialty items. State departments, county boards of education, city boards of education, and state-supported facility operators issue these solicitations, with issuing bodies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. These entities procure food on recurring cycles — annually for school districts, quarterly or seasonally for state facilities and county services — and often split awards across multiple vendors or reserve the right to consolidate to single suppliers based on best value and delivery performance.

Recent opportunities cluster geographically in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued back-to-back ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,700 cases per cycle at roughly $21.83 per case historically) with a 10 percent combined state-goods and resident-bidder preference; Gwinnett County's October 2026 IFB for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, vegetables, sauces, soups) closed October 19, 2026, with delivery required to Lawrenceville by December 7; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including canned vegetables and fruits across five regional TDCJ warehouses, with response extended to May 4, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications with August 2026 and June 2026 deadlines. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0016792v2, responses due March 19, 2026, with an estimated maximum value of $4.5 million over three years) encompassing 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and canned products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. No recent solicitations name organic lingonberries as a line item; the code shows general activity in canned and jarred preserved fruits and vegetables used in institutional food service, but the specific commodity of organic lingonberries does not appear in current state and local procurement activity.
