UNSPSC 50382503 Mountain bilberry purees is a Commodity code that describes processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct purchasing of mountain bilberry purees specifically. Instead, the code appears to capture a broader category of shelf-stable and processed fruit items, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and general fresh and frozen produce for school nutrition programs, senior services, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers. State and local buyers soliciting under this family include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, county senior services departments, independent school districts, and municipal nutrition centers across multiple jurisdictions.
