UNSPSC 50377014: Canned or jarred organic hawthorn

The type of organic fruit known as organic hawthorn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50377014 Canned or jarred organic hawthorn, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities show state and local governments soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service supply categories across correctional facilities, schools, health and human services centers, and other institutions—not canned or jarred organic hawthorn specifically. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in source systems or that hawthorn products are rarely if ever procured under this code in current state and local practice.

Issuing bodies active in these food-service procurement categories include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC and DSHS, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District), municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), and special cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts are the dominant repeat buyer, with five or more RFPs and ITBs posted for food supply, produce, and nutrition items across the recent-opportunities block. Oregon DOC and Texas HHSC/DSHS each appear multiple times. Geographic activity clusters in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement), Oregon (DOC), Illinois (statewide), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Missouri (Rockwood). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, FOB destination, due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026), the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (estimated annual spending $5.5 million combined for two areas, due March 4, 2026). All solicitations require firm fixed pricing, compliance with Buy American and USDA commodity standards, commercial general liability insurance typically at $1 million per occurrence or higher, and delivery to central warehouses or school sites on FOB destination or similar prepaid terms.
