UNSPSC 50373800: Canned or jarred organic huckleberries

The type of organic fruit known as organic huckleberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373800 Canned or jarred organic huckleberries, a Class code, represents a narrow commodity segment that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service contracts, though recent solicitations show the code is applied primarily to general shelf-stable produce and fresh-produce categories rather than specifically to huckleberries. State and local issuers purchasing under this code span school districts, county governments, state agencies managing corrections facilities and state-supported living centers, and municipal boards of education. The scope of work includes acquisition of canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service operations—cafeteria meals, senior services, detention facilities, and state-supported residential centers. Representative recent solicitations show school nutrition programs and state facilities procuring canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026; ODOC ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), fresh produce and dried fruit bars (Austin Independent School District, RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education, IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and general food commodities including canned vegetables and fruits (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, IWQ 140229, informal written quotes due October 19, 2026; Texas Department of Criminal Justice, IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026).

Issuing bodies are concentrated in school districts and state correctional or health-services agencies. Recent activity spans Oregon (corrections procurement), Texas (criminal justice and health services), Georgia (county and state procurement), Illinois (state veterans home), and Connecticut (municipal school nutrition). ODOC's two recent applesauce bids (May and July 2026) demonstrate recurring demand for canned fruit at the same buyer. Geographic spread across the South and Pacific Northwest reflects typical institutional food service distribution, with school systems and state facilities dominating the market. Award decisions under this code prioritize firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity specifications, and responsiveness to supply schedules measured in days to months; Oregon's preference programs (five percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and five percent for resident bidders) and Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act appear standard in school-district and state-agency procurement. No recent solicitation specifically names huckleberries or huckleberry products, indicating the code sees minimal direct application to this commodity in current state and local contracting activity.
