UNSPSC 50377011: Canned or jarred organic elderberries

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

UNSPSC 50377011 Canned or jarred organic elderberries is a Commodity code that state and local governments currently procure as part of broader food-service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and senior services operations. The code sees application in institutional cafeteria and nutrition programs where shelf-stable fruit products are sourced alongside dozens of other canned, frozen, and fresh food items. The solicitations tagged to this code reflect demand from school districts, state departments, county boards of education, and state agencies operating food service at scale; recent opportunities show purchasing offices bundling canned and jarred fruit products within larger food commodity RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs that span multiple product categories rather than procuring elderberries in isolation. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and commissioners' offices, independent school districts, and state veterans' homes—representing the institutional food service ecosystem. The scope of work encompasses purchase orders for shelf-stable fruit products (including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and other canned or preserved fruits) delivered under firm fixed-price agreements with F.O.B. destination, multi-location delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards.

Recent activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate canned applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026) for approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases respectively, applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) released an informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products for senior services in October 2026 (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases in quarterly cycles (June and August 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought 115 line items of food commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (BNB053266, June 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service in July 2026 (27RFP004). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026). Historical pricing for comparable canned fruit products ranges from approximately $21.83 to $21.84 per case based on Oregon corrections awards.
