UNSPSC 50377008: Canned or jarred organic cloudberries

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

UNSPSC 50377008 Canned or jarred organic cloudberries is a Commodity code that in practice covers a far narrower slice of state and local food procurement than its specific product name suggests. Recent solicitations under this code do not target organic cloudberries; instead, state and local governments are buying shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps for school nutrition programs, institutional food service (corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, veterans homes, senior services), and general institutional cafeteria supply. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, city school districts, county senior services, state veterans facilities, and municipal education nutrition centers across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The work is transactional and commodity-driven, with award typically made to the lowest responsive bidder meeting USDA grade and packaging standards on a firm-fixed-price basis.

Georgia leads recent activity, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posting an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce—approximately 4,760 cases in July 2026 and 1,904 cases in May 2026—with historical pricing around $21.84 per case and a 10 percent Oregon-goods-and-resident preference. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services jointly issued supplemental food and consumable bids for state hospitals and supported living centers covering 210 line items with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million (bid deadline March 19, 2026). Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on multiple occasions with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education Nutrition Center posted a 115-line-item commodities bid covering eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products with Buy American compliance and MBE/CBE certification requirements (due June 26, 2026). The code shows material activity but with significant scope drift from its nominal taxonomy label.
