UNSPSC 50475002: Canned or jarred organic garden huckleberry

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

UNSPSC 50475002 Canned or jarred organic garden huckleberry (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code. Recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code instead describe broad consumable-food procurement for institutional food service — specifically shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods for state-operated facilities, school districts, and corrections departments. The opportunities show procurement of canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared entrees rather than specialized organic huckleberry products. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, serving state supported living centers and state hospitals), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state education agencies (Illinois, Georgia), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). These jurisdictions solicit food service supply contracts year-round to support canteen operations, cafeteria programs, nutrition services, and on-campus food provision across multiple facilities or school locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs — HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including prepared items and supplies; HHS0017872 (Lufkin SLC, due August 25, 2026) for food products and kitchen items; and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026) seek comprehensive grocery procurement across multiple school locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026). The code shows substantial recent activity but little evidence that organic huckleberry products are being procured under these solicitations; institutional food-service procurement is the actual scope drivers.
