The variety of organic raspberries known as organic jepson whitebark raspberry that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376212 Canned or jarred organic jepson whitebark raspberry is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service—particularly school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, and senior services operations. Recent solicitations show demand for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fresh and processed fruit inventory supplied to multiple delivery locations within a jurisdiction. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal nutrition centers. The work involves competitive bidding on firm-fixed pricing per unit or case, FOB destination delivery with specified lead times (typically 45–72 hours), compliance with USDA commodity and FDA standards, and maintenance of shelf-life requirements. Vendors routinely provide multiple product references, liability insurance (commonly $1 million per occurrence), and nutritional or compliance documentation; some jurisdictions apply Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content for processed goods.

Recent activity spans multiple regions. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (4,760 cases in July 2026 and 1,904 cases in May 2026), with historical awards at $21.84–$21.83 per case to prior vendors; both carried 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences and required submission through the OregonBuys system. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) posted a large supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with 210 line items, a March 2026 response deadline, and a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller's office) solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions via IFB with a May 4, 2026 deadline and 382 line items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed food items including canned products by October 19, 2026; Austin Independent School District (Texas) sought dried fruit bars and apple crisps by July 16, 2026; and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) requested mixed commodities including fruit and vegetable products by June 26, 2026. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations throughout 2026 under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. The code shows consistent activity across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with multi-case and multi-location delivery patterns typical of institutional bulk supply chains.
