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

UNSPSC 50382611 Northcountry blueberry purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and processed fruit products for institutional food service, including applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruit items for correctional facilities, schools, health and human services centers, and district nutrition programs. The actual buying activity under this code spans a broader range of fruit preservation and commodity foods than the code name alone suggests — recent solicitations show state corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies sourcing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh and frozen produce alongside brand-specific weekly food orders and quarterly supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, school districts (both independent districts and county systems), health and human services commissions, and boards of education across multiple states. School nutrition programs appear as repeat buyers, with districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia soliciting fruit and vegetable products for child nutrition services on annual contracts. The geographic spread covers Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with the heaviest recent activity in Texas (multiple state agencies and independent school districts) and Georgia (county school systems and state-supported living centers).

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million.
