UNSPSC 50382303: Common bearberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382303 Common bearberry purees (Commodity) shows limited direct alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged under or near this code overwhelmingly target mainstream food products for institutional food service—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees—rather than bearberry purees specifically. Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) solicits canned applesauce in 4,760 cases under commodity specifications; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) requests dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office and Texas Health and Human Services Commission both posted food and consumable procurements with brand-specific or line-item structures. The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments, school districts, county boards of education, and special-purpose authorities, with school nutrition programs appearing most frequently across recent postings. State procurement offices in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri dominate the recent activity.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas (multiple HHSC and DISD procurements), Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham school districts), and Oregon (ODOC), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood School District), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce procurement (ITB, 4,760 cases, $21.84 per case historical pricing), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables statewide contract (IFB HHS0017449, food service for El Paso State Supported Living Center, $1.5 million prior-period value, bids due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, dual-section delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026). The code itself does not see active procurement specifically for bearberry purees; state and local buyers classify mainstream preserved and fresh fruits under this code but solicit actual volumes in applesauce, dried fruits, and fresh produce categories instead.
