UNSPSC 50382302: Red bearberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382302 Red bearberry purees (Commodity) does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent opportunities tagged with this code cover mainstream processed and fresh food products for institutional food service—applesauce, dried fruit bars, grocery staples, fresh produce, and proteins—rather than red bearberry purees specifically. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this commodity code rarely appears in state and local procurement activity.

The opportunities that do carry this code designation span school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities across multiple states, with issuing bodies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education, and various county school systems. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (bids due July 16, 2026), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly food orders (bids due June 17, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, and Illinois, with scattered activity in Missouri. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the commodities in recent solicitations, pursuit of this code should prioritize clarification with procurement offices about actual product specifications and confirmation that red bearberry purees are an active line item, rather than treating the recent opportunities as reliable proxies for the market.
