UNSPSC 50377013: Canned or jarred organic hackberries

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

UNSPSC 50377013 Canned or jarred organic hackberries, a Commodity code, nominally refers to preserved organic hackberry products, but state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and does not center on the product itself. Recent solicitations tagged with this code focus instead on broad food procurement for public institutions — school nutrition programs, senior services, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers — where canned and jarred shelf-stable items (applesauce, vegetables, proteins, and general food supplies) dominate actual purchasing. Issuing bodies span state departments, county boards of education, county purchasing divisions, city nutrition programs, and state health and human services agencies. The solicitations reveal a pattern of institutional food service sourcing rather than specialized or organic hackberry procurement, suggesting the code assignment may reflect general commodity classification rather than specific product demand.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested bids on fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, emphasizing Buy American provisions and delivery to three school sites. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide via IFB HHS0016792v2 (bid due March 19, 2026), with a potential three-year contract value reaching $4.5 million across state hospitals and supported living centers. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, bids due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, bids due June 2, 2026), each requesting multiple full truckloads and offering combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office repeatedly solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple quarters, proposals due June 17 and August 24, 2026). Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested quotes on 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables under IFQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026). Activity reflects steady institutional demand for food supply contracts with firm pricing, delivery compliance, and Buy American or state-preference compliance as standing requirements, though the code itself shows no concentration on organic or specialty hackberry items.
