UNSPSC 50382402: Black satin blackberry purees

The variety of blackberries known as black satin blackberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382402 Black satin blackberry purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as canned and frozen fruit products for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services operations. The actual recent solicitations under this code span broader fruit categories—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and eggs—rather than the narrow blackberry-puree designation, signaling that state and local procurement offices frequently tag multi-category food service contracts with produce or fruit commodity codes that do not precisely match individual product lines. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeated solicitations from independent school districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia; state corrections and health departments also regularly solicit under adjacent codes, as do county boards of education. The geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with secondary activity in the Mountain West (Oregon) and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois).

Recent representative opportunities illustrate the scope: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, seeking 4,760 cases of canned applesauce by July 31, 2026, with FOB destination pricing and a 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-bidder preference; Fairfax County Public Schools posted IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026, for a Master Grocery K-12 term contract with multiple school and warehouse deliveries due April 27, 2026, requiring a minimum three years' business experience and firm fixed pricing for the initial July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract year; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders on June 12, 2026, with proposals due June 17, 2026, including prevailing wage and general commercial liability insurance requirements.
