UNSPSC 50465002: Canned or jarred garden huckleberry

The variety of nightshades known as garden huckleberry that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465002 Canned or jarred garden huckleberry is a Commodity code that sees virtually no current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span food procurement broadly—school nutrition programs, state facility food service, and correctional department supplies—but none actually solicit canned or jarred garden huckleberry specifically. Recent bids from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for supplemental food and consumables, the Oregon Department of Corrections for canned tomato products, the Illinois Veterans Home for quarterly weekly food orders, and multiple school districts for comprehensive grocery and produce supply contracts all fall under the general food commodity umbrella without identifying huckleberry as a line item or requirement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests the code is used as a catch-all category for canned fruit and vegetable products rather than as a precise descriptor of what is being purchased.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County and Liberty County systems in Georgia, Burke County and Muscogee County in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), and special facilities serving inmates and residents. Activity is geographically dispersed across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition procurement representing the largest share of recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 (Food and Consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due April 6, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response deadline April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens). Given the absence of garden huckleberry in any recent opportunity and the code's apparent misuse as a general canned-fruit category, the code shows little actionable procurement signal for vendors specializing in this specific product.
