UNSPSC 50382602: Bluetta blueberry purees

The variety of blueberries known as bluetta blueberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382602 Bluetta blueberry purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this taxonomy reference. Recent postings tagged with this code show no blueberry puree activity; instead, they encompass a broad range of food products for institutional food service — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, grocery staples, cafeteria entrees, and consumable supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Douglas County Schools), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport). School districts dominate the activity, with repeated solicitations for grocery and produce contracts supporting annual food service across hundreds of schools and tens of thousands of students. State agencies solicit for food supply to correctional and health and human services facilities at substantial volumes, and institutional buyers typically conduct annual or multi-year competitive procurements.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) seeking approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with 5 percent state-of-origin and 5 percent resident-vendor preferences; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools with an estimated $9 million annual expenditure; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026, originally due February 23, extended to March 23, 2026) for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential three-year value of $4.5 million. The code's assignment to blueberry purees appears to be a data-classification error; the actual procurement activity is institutional food service distribution across multiple product categories and geographies.
