UNSPSC 50382500: Bilberry purees

The type of fruit known as billberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382500 Bilberry purees is a Class code covering canned and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though the recent solicitations tagged under this code show little activity aligned with bilberry purees specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities reflect purchases of broader fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and supplemental food items—for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and health and human services operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple K–12 systems posting RFPs and IFBs for annual grocery and produce contracts, alongside state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport), and large urban school districts (Dallas Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the South and Southwest, with significant recent activity in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (multiple school systems, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including apples and berries across 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K–12 deliveries to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4–$5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). The code shows active demand but relatively weak alignment with the bilberry-puree taxonomy; pursuit should focus on broader processed and fresh fruit opportunities where the actual buying intent diverges from the nominal code name.
