UNSPSC 50382409: Marionberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382409 Marionberry purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the active recent procurement landscape under this classification. State and local governments posting opportunities tagged to this code are actually soliciting broad fruit and produce supply — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and multi-category food service staples — rather than marionberry products specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and independent school districts serving inmate or institutional food programs. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with most districts conducting annual procurement cycles for the 2026-27 school year and using IFB or RFP notice types with sealed-bid or proposal-based evaluation.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest — Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County school systems), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, HHSC El Paso facility), and Oregon (Department of Corrections) — with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce, due July 31, 2026, under the OregonBuys system with historical pricing at $21.84 per case; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple varieties, due June 26, 2026; and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Many school district solicitations require Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, firm fixed pricing for the contract period, and delivery to multiple school sites on defined schedules. The code shows substantial activity but a material mismatch between the nominal commodity (marionberry purees) and what jurisdictions are actually buying (commodity food supply across multiple fruit, vegetable, and protein categories).
