UNSPSC 50382407: Jostaberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382407 Jostaberry purees is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and frozen fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and social services departments. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses a broader category of canned, frozen, and fresh fruit products than the narrow code name suggests: Gwinnett County is buying shelf-stable pantry staples including canned vegetables and proteins alongside preserves and purees; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned applesauce; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought supplemental frozen and fresh fruit; and the City of Bridgeport's school nutrition bid included processed fruit products. The issuing bodies span county governments, state procurement offices, school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies. All recent solicitations used either ITB, IFB, or RFQ methods with response dates clustered between late May and late October 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with visible procurement in Georgia (Gwinnett County, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), along with Connecticut and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 line items of commodities to the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026, with Buy American provisions and MBE/CBE certification applicable; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB on behalf of TDCJ for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution points with response due May 4, 2026. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted multiple quarterly food-order solicitations throughout the period. Most solicitations emphasize firm, fixed pricing with FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA standards, and commercial liability insurance; school district and institutional buyers frequently apply Buy American or domestic-content preferences.
