UNSPSC 50377033: Canned or jarred organic silverberries

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

UNSPSC 50377033 Canned or jarred organic silverberries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable preserved fruit products. Recent opportunities reveal that state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruits—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader food-service commodities—for institutional food service including corrections facilities, veterans' homes, schools, senior services, and state supported living centers. The work spans routine food supply contracts where issuing bodies solicit against named brands or brand-or-equal specifications, typically on a quarterly or annual cycle with firm fixed pricing and delivery to central distribution centers or individual sites. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments, state veterans' homes, county boards of education, independent school districts, county departments of community services, municipal school nutrition programs, and state health and human services agencies. Contracts are awarded to responsive and responsible vendors on a lowest-price-per-unit or best-value basis, with delivery typically required within 30 to 60 days of order and compliance with USDA commodity standards, Buy American provisions where school nutrition funding is involved, and prevailing wage requirements where applicable.

Geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners; Hancock County Board of Education; State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ; Austin Independent School District); Oregon Department of Corrections and City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also posted food commodity solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (solicitation S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, with historical award at $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, maximum contract value $4,500,000 over three years, initial term through August 31, 2026 with two renewal options); Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026); and the State of Illinois weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (both brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, proposals due August 24, 2026).
