UNSPSC 50382600: Blueberry purees

The type of edible blue or blackish berry of any of several plants (genus vaccinium) of the heath family which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382600 Blueberry purees is a Class code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring under this identifier. Recent opportunities tagged to this code target canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce spanning dozens of varieties, fresh eggs, and broader food-service commodities for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and institutional food programs. The code's nominal scope—blueberry purées—appears disconnected from current procurement activity, which centers on shelf-stable canned fruits, fresh produce distributed at scale, and mixed food-service supply contracts. State and local issuing bodies running these procurements span Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts from multiple states (Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon), and county school boards. The agencies are bidding standardized commodity food supplies for dining operations, meal programs, and nutrition services, often using ITB, IFB, or RFP methods with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and USDA specification adherence as baseline terms.

Recent opportunities show geographic concentration in the South and Southwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two identical applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975 due March 6, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, at 4,760 cases) reflecting repeat procurement activity. Texas dominates activity: HHSC issued HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (due March 19, 2026; $4.5 million potential value over three years), Texas TDCJ sought cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF, approximately 382 line items, due May 4, 2026), and DISD posted an RFP for specialty food products (JC250079, due April 2, 2026). Georgia school districts are active: Hancock County Schools (fresh produce IFB, due June 26, 2026), Muscogee County (produce ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), Liberty County (IFB for 400+ food items, due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham (72 produce items, Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County (cooperative produce and eggs RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026; $5.5 million across two regions). Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri (two grocery RFQs, both due April 29, 2026) round out the geographic spread. Austin Independent School District (dried fruit and crisps RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026) and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut (115 commodity line items, due June 26, 2026) also show activity. The code shows steady procurement volume but no alignment with its stated commodity; business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as a catch-all food-service supply category spanning fresh, frozen, canned, and specialty items rather than a blueberry purée–specific opportunity.
