UNSPSC 50376207 Canned or jarred organic focke grayleaf red raspberry, a Commodity code, represents shelf-stable fruit and vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service at detention facilities, schools, senior centers, and state health and human services facilities. The code encompasses canned and jarred produce—including applesauce, berries, and other preserved fruits—that meet USDA commodity specifications and federal food safety standards. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers issuing IFBs and RFQs for quantities ranging from a few hundred to several thousand cases, with pricing evaluated on a per-unit basis and delivery to central distribution or warehouse locations on FOB destination terms. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education and county community services offices, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education. Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois have each posted multiple opportunities within the past six months, signaling repeat procurement activity from these jurisdictions.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut, with the most visible concentration among state-level purchasers (corrections, health and human services, veterans' homes) and county school systems. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid on approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' request for informal written quotes on approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IFB IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's solicitation for weekly food orders to Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, August 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education's bid for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident-headquartered bidders; Georgia and Texas procurements typically require domestic-content compliance under the Buy American Provision where applicable, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice imposed a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee on food commodity awards.
