UNSPSC 50376701: Canned or jarred organic chandler strawberries

The variety of organic strawberries known as organic chandler strawberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376701 Canned or jarred organic chandler strawberries is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchases of shelf-stable fruit preserves and specialty produce items for institutional food service operations, though the recent solicitations reflect a broader spectrum of canned fruit and preserved goods than the code name alone suggests. State and local agencies — principally corrections departments, school districts, health and human services facilities, and county nutrition programs — procure under this code to supply cafeterias, dining facilities, and food-assistance programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission all appear in the recent record, as do school districts in Georgia and Texas, county boards of education, and county senior services divisions. Scope of work centers on bulk canned and jarred fruit products — applesauce, preserved berries, and mixed fruit — delivered on palletized freight terms with firm, fixed unit pricing, USDA commodity compliance, and minimum shelf-life requirements. Institutional buyers specify brand names with approved-equivalent options permitted or solicit brand-specific items outright, and many impose Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two successive ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026 (due June 2 and July 31 respectively), each targeting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases with historical awards near $21.83 per case to suppliers including Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner; Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for in-state fabrication and residency. Georgia's Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned goods due October 19, 2026 under IFB 140229, with delivery to the Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville; Texas HHSC posted an IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items statewide due March 19, 2026, with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia sought fresh produce with over 200 line items including berries due June 26, 2026. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy has generated recurring quarterly brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders, with multiple proposals due in June and August 2026. The code shows steady institutional food-service demand across correctional, educational, and aging-services networks, with response cycles typically 14 to 30 days and delivery windows of 45 to 72 hours post-order.
