UNSPSC 50382301: Alpine bearberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382301 Alpine bearberry purees (Commodity) describes packaged fruit purees and prepared fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities under this code overwhelmingly solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and grocery staples for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health service agencies rather than alpine bearberry products specifically. State and local issuing bodies acquiring under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Douglas County), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education, municipal departments (City of Bridgeport), and cooperative purchasing organizations (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts and state health agencies represent the largest and most frequent buyers, with multiple solicitations from individual districts and statewide health procurement offices issuing several IFBs and RFPs annually for food service supplies.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia, with the heaviest concentration in Texas and Georgia school districts and state agencies. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for state supported living center, bids due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 (fresh produce spanning over 200 line items, bids due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12 with weekly deliveries to 45 schools, bids due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 (food supply and distribution for approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools, approximately $9 million annual value, proposals due February 18, 2026). Pricing in school nutrition contracts typically remains firm for the full contract period; deliveries are made FOB destination to central warehouses or directly to individual school sites on fixed weekly schedules; and awards commonly go to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value evaluation.
