UNSPSC 50382400: Blackberry purees

The type of fruite which is usually black or dark purple juicy but seedy edible aggregate fruit of various brambles of the rose family which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382400 Blackberry purees (Class) does not reflect the state and local procurement activity in the source block. The recent opportunities consistently solicit processed and fresh fruit products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, canned pears — along with broader food service supply spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and consumables for institutional feeding programs. State and local governments buy these items through issuing bodies that span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, and others), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), and other institutional food service operators. The recent solicitations are predominantly ITBs and RFPs issued by school nutrition programs, with response dates clustered between late February and late July 2026.

Geographic activity in the block is concentrated in Texas (Dallas ISD, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0016792) covering 210 line items across bread, proteins, frozen specialty foods, fruits, vegetables, and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323) seeking grocery product supply and delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens for the 2026-27 contract year; and the Douglas County School System food supply and distribution procurement (RFP 26-003) for an estimated $9 million annual expenditure across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students. The code's nominal scope of "blackberry purees" does not align with the breadth and diversity of actual procurement activity posted under it.
