UNSPSC 50374702: Canned or jarred organic white mulberries

The variety of organic mulberries known as organic white mulberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374702 Canned or jarred organic white mulberries, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, county senior services, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects broader institutional demand for canned and jarred produce as cost-effective, long-shelf-life food items suitable for high-volume meal service. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, and municipal education authorities across multiple states.

Geographic activity spans Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners; Hancock County Board of Education; State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (bid response deadline March 19, 2026). Canned applesauce, which closely aligns with this code's taxonomy, appears repeatedly in Oregon ODOC solicitations and represents institutional procurement of USDA-compliant canned fruit with firm-fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and typical case costs in the $21–22 range.
