UNSPSC 50382502: Dwarf bilberry purees

The variety of billberries known as dwarf bilberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382502 Dwarf bilberry purees (Commodity) does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent activity shows school districts, counties, state agencies, and corrections departments procuring broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service—canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, cafeteria proteins, and general food and consumable supplies for school nutrition programs, senior services, state hospitals, veterans homes, and detention facilities. The code's nominal scope (dwarf bilberry purees specifically) does not match the commodity-level procurement activity being tagged against it in the market.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county boards of education and county commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Recent solicitations span June through October 2026 across Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ locations), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and represent notice types including IFB, RFP, RFQ, and ITB. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, due August 24, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce procurement at 4,760 cases (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 historical per-case pricing), and Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). The mismatch between the code name and actual buying patterns suggests this commodity code may be incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems to broad food-service purchasing rather than dwarf bilberry purees specifically.
