UNSPSC 50382409: Marionberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382409 Marionberry purees, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable and processed fruit purees that state and local governments procure as ingredients for food service operations serving schools, correctional facilities, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show procurement officers are buying marionberry purees as part of broader food-supply contracts that bundle dozens of fruit, vegetable, protein, and pantry items for institutional cafeterias and nutrition programs; the code reflects a narrowly specified product line within these larger food-service aggregations rather than standalone purchases.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, state corrections departments, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county senior services departments across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' June 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's recurring quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with proposals due August 24, 2026 (brand-or-equal and brand-specific variants); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for canned fruit applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value guideline of $1.5 million. The Texas HHSC supplemental food solicitation (May 2026) encompassed 210 line items across fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products for state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential three-year value of $4.5 million. Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with significant volume in Texas institutional food service and recurring quarterly renewals from Illinois.
