UNSPSC 50373803: Canned or jarred organic dwarf huckleberries

The variety of organic huckleberries known as organic dwarf huckleberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373803 Canned or jarred organic dwarf huckleberries is a Commodity code that represents a narrow slice of the broader shelf-stable food procurement market state and local governments actually purchase — in practice, the code shows minimal direct activity, with recent solicitations naming conventional canned fruits (applesauce, mixed berries in syrup) and jarred products rather than the specific organic dwarf huckleberry line item. State and local issuing bodies using codes in this family include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal education departments. The work being solicited ranges from bulk fresh produce contracts spanning 200+ line items and running twelve months, to weekly food orders placed on standing basis, to one-time purchases of 35 to 115 commodity items for food service operations including school lunch programs, senior nutrition services, state hospital and supported living centers, and correctional facilities. Award decisions typically rest on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value to the issuing body, with firm fixed pricing required for the contract term and unit-price evaluation on a per-ounce or per-case basis.

Recent activity clusters heavily in the Southeast and Southwest: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, both ITB format, bids due June 2 and July 31); Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables statewide under IFB HHS0016792v2 (responses due March 19, 2026, $4.5 million over three years including renewals); Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought cafeteria food products under IFB 304T-26-300CF across five geographic warehouse areas (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) bid fresh produce for school year 2026-27 under IFB #SN002-2027 (bids due June 26, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases sought commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (bids due June 26, 2026); and Austin Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, both brand-specific and brand-or-equal formats. Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear in several school district and state procurements; Oregon applies a combined 10 percent resident and Oregon-goods preference. No incumbent or awarded vendor is identified across the available opportunities. The code itself records minimal specialized activity; state and local procurement under this narrow commodity tier remains sparse relative to the broader canned-fruit and food-service categories.
