UNSPSC 50377034: Canned or jarred organic sorb berries

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

UNSPSC 50377034 Canned or jarred organic sorb berries is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement record shows virtually no activity aligned with this narrow product specification. State and local governments purchasing under this code are buying shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers — but the opportunities posted in the source do not call for organic sorb berries specifically. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including berries, and broad commodity food baskets that may include canned fruit as one line item among dozens or hundreds. The code's nominal scope (organic sorb berries) appears misaligned with actual institutional food procurement patterns, which favor broader commodity classifications or higher-tier family codes that bundle multiple fruit and vegetable products.

Geographic activity spans Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's IWQ requesting informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026 (RFQ, due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical price of $21.84 per case (ITB, bids due July 31, 2026); and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (IFB, due July 13, 2026). Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state correctional and health-services agencies, school districts, and municipal nutrition centers. The code shows little targeted demand for the specific product named — organic sorb berries — and business development effort would be better directed toward broader fruit and vegetable commodity families where institutional food service opportunities actually cluster.
