UNSPSC 50376703: Canned or jarred organic ever bearing strawberries

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

UNSPSC 50376703 Canned or jarred organic ever bearing strawberries (Commodity) covers preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though the recent solicitation record shows minimal activity specifically tied to organic strawberries; most opportunities tagged to this code or neighboring fruit categories involve broader shelf-stable food procurement spanning canned applesauce, fresh produce, institutional cafeteria items, and mixed commodity food orders for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and county nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, and county boards of education, reflecting heavy institutional demand for food service sourcing across K–12 nutrition, state hospital supply, prison commissary and dining, and senior services programs.

The code sees scattered activity across multiple states including Georgia (Gwinnett County), Illinois (state veterans home), Oregon (corrections), Texas (multiple state agencies and school districts), and Connecticut (municipal school board), with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bid deadline March 19, 2026, with maximum three-year value of $4.5 million), and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit products for the school nutrition center (due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear consistently in school nutrition solicitations; state contracts routinely impose prevailing wage and liability insurance requirements, and awards typically go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders with evaluation based on price per unit or per ounce.
