UNSPSC 50382407: Jostaberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382407 Jostaberry purees, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities posted under this code over the past six months span applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service categories for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies—none of which are jostaberry purees or closely related berry products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests either erroneous code assignment in the source records or minimal legitimate procurement demand for jostaberry purees in the state and local market.

Recent opportunities instead reflect heavy demand for mainstream commodity foods across school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and correctional systems. Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on July 10, 2026 (due July 31) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at approximately $21.84 per case under ODOC's Oregon goods and resident preferences. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and state supported living centers have solicited supplemental food and consumable products multiple times, with the most recent IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items and a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School districts dominate the recent-opportunity landscape: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) sought Master Grocery K-12 supply across 52 school sites; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued two separate solicitations for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (both April 29, 2026 deadline); and multiple Georgia school districts including Douglas County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and Muscogee County posted fresh produce and food procurement RFPs and IFBs in February through April 2026. Geographic clustering appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Pricing in representative buys reflects firm fixed costs with all-inclusive freight, ranging from $21.84 per case (applesauce) to complex tiered pricing for fresh produce indexed to USDA market reports. No activity supports pursuit under this code.
