UNSPSC 50383100: Cranberry purees

The type of red acid berry produced by some plants (as vaccinium oxycoccos and v. Acrocarpon) of the heath family which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383100 Cranberry purees is a Class code that reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent sourcing activity shows minimal direct cranberry-puree purchasing and instead concentrates on broader fruit categories including applesauce, dried fruit, fresh produce, and mixed commodity food items. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, county boards of education, state corrections and human services facilities, municipal nutrition centers, and specialized institutions such as state-supported living centers and veterans homes. The work encompasses both standalone commodity purchases (canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce) and integrated food-service contracts supplying multiple product lines to centralized distribution points or on-site kitchens, with typical requirements including USDA compliance, Brand-or-Equal substitution, firm fixed pricing through contract term, FOB Destination delivery, and proof of liability insurance.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (solicitation S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026; solicitation S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) representing roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases per procurement with historical pricing near $21.84 per case and Oregon-resident and domestic-product preferences applied. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (IFB HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026; IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) serving state hospitals and supported living centers across 210-line-item scopes with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple RFPs for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple quarterly solicitations, most recent due August 24, 2026). Austin Independent School District and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce and prepared fruit items (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026; IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) under Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items.
