UNSPSC 50374800: Canned or jarred organic bayberries or myrtles

The type of organic fruit known as organic bayberries or myrtles that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374800 Canned or jarred organic bayberries or myrtles is a Class code that in practice does not reflect the food procurement activity state and local governments are actually sourcing under this classification. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code instead cover general shelf-stable food commodities, fresh produce, and food service products—including canned applesauce, fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, proteins, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies for corrections facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and county social services. The nominal scope of the code (organic bayberries or myrtles preserved in cans or jars) does not appear in any of the recent opportunities; issuing bodies appear to be using the code as a broad catch-all for food commodity procurement rather than for the specific product line the code name describes. Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include state corrections and health agencies, county boards of education and social services, city nutrition departments, and independent school districts.

Geographic activity spans Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 proposals for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December 2026 (both brand-specific and brand-or-equal options); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School nutrition, state institutional food service, and county social services food distribution dominate the recent activity under this code, though the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests that vendors should verify line-item alignment before pursuing opportunities classified here.
