UNSPSC 50383101: Ben lear cranberry purees

The variety of cranberries known as ben lear cranberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383101 Ben lear cranberry purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying canned fruit products—applesauce, pears, and other shelf-stable fruit preparations—rather than cranberry purees specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent solicitations reflects broader state and local reliance on commodity fruit products for institutional food service across corrections, schools, and health facilities, but the code itself does not capture the volume or concentration of that activity.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, and others), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO), and specialized state facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce in recent months (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026; S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026), each requesting roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases at historical pricing near $21.84 per case, with five percent Oregon-source preference and five percent Oregon-headquarter preference available. Broader institutional food procurement activity is substantial—Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution anticipates annual spend near $9 million; Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables contract spans 210 line items with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years—but these roll up fruit products into larger commodity baskets rather than isolating cranberry purees as a line item. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Illinois, Connecticut, and Virginia. The code shows no evident market concentration or preference activity tied specifically to cranberry purees.
