UNSPSC 50382300: Bearberry purees

The variety of fruit known as bearberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382300 Bearberry purees, a Class code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities associated with this code document procurements for a broad range of food items—fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and shelf-stable staple foods—spanning school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and county governments across multiple states. Bearberry purees are not mentioned in any of the nine recent solicitations. The code's nominal focus on a single specialty fruit product bears no relationship to the general food provisioning activity documented in the associated opportunities, suggesting either a tagging error in the source data or a mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and actual procurement practice under this code number.

The issuing bodies include state-level procuring entities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with opportunities posted from May through October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24 and June 17, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce at approximately 4,760 cases (due July 31, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (due March 19, 2026, with a potential value of $4,500,000 over three years). Given the consistent mismatch between the code name and the work documented, this code shows little relevant recent activity for bearberry purees specifically.
