UNSPSC 50377009: Canned or jarred organic dewberries

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

UNSPSC 50377009 Canned or jarred organic dewberries, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable preserved berry products that state and local government procurement offices buy primarily for institutional food service — schools, corrections facilities, state hospitals, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show these products are purchased as components of broader food-supply contracts, typically bundled with other canned fruits, vegetables, proteins, and shelf-stable staples rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state agencies managing corrections and human services. State nutrition programs and food-service operations are the primary end-use segments.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, informal written quotes due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December under brand-or-equal and brand-specific specifications (ITB 27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751, proposals due August 24, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales (ITB S-29100-00017453, bids due July 31, 2026, with 5% Oregon goods and 5% resident-bidder preferences available); Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years (IFB HHS0016792V2, responses due March 19, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products (IFB #SN002-2027, sealed bids due June 26, 2026).
