UNSPSC 50376604: Canned or jarred organic thiessen saskatoon berries

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

UNSPSC 50376604 Canned or jarred organic Thiessen Saskatoon berries, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not center on organic Thiessen Saskatoon berries or any specialty berry products; instead, they encompass broad institutional food service procurement spanning shelf-stable staples (proteins, pasta, rice, sauces, soups, canned vegetables), fresh produce (apples, berries of all types, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens), dairy products, bakery items, frozen entrees, condiments, and consumable supplies. The issuing bodies include county school boards and boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal bodies (City of Bridgeport). The code shows minimal relevance to its stated commodity; the recent solicitations reflect general food service supply sourcing rather than specialty organic berries.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with additional state-level procurements in the broader Southeast and Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, sweetened or unsweetened, with delivery in five full truckloads to Salem, Oregon and bids due July 31, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posting multiple solicitations for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Given the mismatch between the code's name and the actual goods being purchased, this code appears to carry misclassified opportunities and shows little direct relevance to specialty organic berry sourcing.
