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

UNSPSC 50382410 Navaho blackberry purees is a Commodity code that in practice spans a much broader range of fruit and fruit-product procurement than its narrow title suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code encompass canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, eggs), frozen fruits, and specialty food items for institutional food service — including schools, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The issuing-body mix includes state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), large municipal and regional school systems (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), and independent school districts. The procurement spans institutional food service — nutrition programs for K–12 students, meal service for incarcerated individuals, and food supply for state health facilities.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia (Hancock County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood schools), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Illinois (state-level procurement). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (Fruit Applesauce, due July 31, 2026, for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce to Salem warehouse, with historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (Dried Fruit Bars and Apple Crisps, due July 16, 2026, for central warehouse delivery), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 (Food and Consumable Products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, covering 385–393 NIGP line items with prior-period value of $1.5 million), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 (Fresh Produce SY27, due June 26, 2026, with over 200 line items including apples, berries, and root vegetables across three school delivery sites). Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, and firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract terms appear standard across school and state facility solicitations. Most school district awards favor single or multiple line-item awards based on lowest responsive bid; state facility contracts often carry price adjustments tied to Consumer Price Index or manufacturer cost increases with vendor performance tracked through state systems.
