UNSPSC 50374801: Canned or jarred organic bog myrtle

The variety of organic myrtle known as organic bog myrtle that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374801 Canned or jarred organic bog myrtle is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and a broad range of food and consumable products for institutional food service — none of which are bog myrtle products or marketed as organic bog myrtle. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity is stark; state and local issuing bodies are using this Commodity code to solicit mainstream food service commodities, not specialized organic products. No recent opportunities found in the source describe bog myrtle procurement of any kind.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Fairfax County Public Schools), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and county-level health and human services facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate the activity. Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and a multi-state Georgia cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce due June 26, 2026; and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026. The code appears to function as a catch-all tag for institutional food procurement rather than a precise descriptor, making business development targeting difficult without clarification from issuing bodies on their actual commodity classification intent.
