UNSPSC 50382414 Thornless hull blackberry purees is a Commodity code covering processed fruit products actually being procured by state and local governments for institutional food service. Recent opportunities under this code and related fruit-processing categories show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and comprehensive food-service commodities for correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and other institutional operations. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, independent school districts, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, and municipal school systems across multiple states. State agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia) and school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) represent the dominant institutional buyers, with several school districts issuing multiple solicitations annually for fresh produce, grocery items, and food-service commodities.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Florida appearing repeatedly in school-district and state-agency procurements posted since late January 2026. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period monetary value of $1.5 million); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple apple and berry varieties (due June 26, 2026). Buy American requirements, minimum shelf-life specifications, FOB Destination pricing, and firm-fixed pricing for contract periods appear consistently across solicitations. School districts typically conduct separate procurements for fresh produce, grocery items, and specialty food products, often using electronic bidding systems and accepting awards to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
