UNSPSC 50382406: Dirksen blackberry purees

The variety of blackberries known as dirksen blackberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382406 Dirksen blackberry purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity surfaced in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific fruit puree product, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service categories that span proteins, dairy, grains, and consumables for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state supported living centers, and institutional food service operations. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this Commodity code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices to classify food service solicitations.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia), along with the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple Georgia districts. The procurement activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia school districts, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (due March 19, 2026, subsequently extended). The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope.
