UNSPSC 50382603: Brigitta blueberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382603 Brigitta blueberry purees (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to the UNSPSC are instead acquiring applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food supply contracts for institutional nutrition programs—not blueberry purees specifically. State and local governments use this code-family for canned and fresh fruit products destined for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County School System), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal school procurement (Bridgeport Board of Education). Work is typically solicited as IFB or RFP on annual or multi-year contracts with fixed or adjustable pricing tied to commodity indices or manufacturer price lists.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case), the Texas HHSC's procurement for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually), and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). The Douglas County School System's RFP for a main-line food distributor serving 32,500 students reflects the scale of institutional food procurement at the district level, with an estimated annual spend of $9 million. Buy American provisions and USDA compliance requirements are standard across these solicitations. The code shows consistent, substantial activity across multiple issuing bodies and geographic regions, though the mismatch between the nominal UNSPSC description and actual procurement scope suggests vendors should verify coding against specific opportunity detail before pursuit.
