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 (Commodity) represents a narrow subcategory within broader shelf-stable food procurement by state and local jurisdictions; however, recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code show minimal direct activity for hawthorn specifically. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code predominantly seek general canned and shelf-stable food products—including canned applesauce, canned vegetables, canned proteins, and other pantry staples—for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, senior service centers, and state hospitals. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, county commissions, independent school districts, city education boards, and state agencies. Repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC), which has posted multiple applesauce ITBs, and the State of Illinois, which solicits weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a quarterly basis.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, Austin ISD), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (state veterans home), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and 5% Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences; Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly food-order solicitations for IVHQ, posted August 19, 2026, due August 24, 2026. The code shows continued activity but does not reflect strong specific demand for organic hawthorn products; vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid on institutional food staples broadly rather than specialty organic items.
