UNSPSC 50376600: Canned or jarred organic saskatoon berries

The type of organic fruit known as organic saskatoon berries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376600 Canned or jarred organic saskatoon berries is a Class code that does not see relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—organic saskatoon berries in preserved form—does not match the actual food-service commodities being solicited under it. The recent opportunities posted to this code span generic shelf-stable food items (canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, vegetables), fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus), dried fruit bars and apple crisps, canned applesauce, and supplemental food and consumables for institutional food service including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, veterans homes, and school nutrition programs. None of these solicitations specify or request saskatoon berries—organic or otherwise—suggesting the code assignment reflects a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than intentional procurement activity.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin, Texas; Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and county service departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia). Activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut, with the highest concentration in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, 5 truckloads) due July 31, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years) due March 19, 2026; and the Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope, firms should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
