UNSPSC 50383102: Early black cranberry purees

The variety of cranberries known as early black cranberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383102 Early black cranberry purees is a Commodity code that encompasses a narrower product scope than reflected in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes early black cranberry purees, but issuing bodies are instead soliciting canned and processed fruit products more broadly—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and fresh produce across multiple fruit and vegetable categories. State and local governments buying under this code include corrections departments, independent school districts, state departments of health and human services, county and district boards of education, and cooperative purchasing groups serving multiple school districts. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple invitations for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and prior ITB S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), establishing a repeat buyer pattern. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide under IFB HHS0016792 (due February 23, 2026, amended) and HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items including processed fruits, frozen foods, and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts account for the largest share of recent activity: Austin Independent School District (RFP 27RFP004 due July 16, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (dual grocery solicitations due April 29, 2026), and multiple Georgia county school districts have posted fresh produce and food product bids.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have generated the highest-dollar solicitations, with the HHSC supplemental food contract carrying a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and the TDCJ cafeteria food bid (IFB 304T26300CF due May 4, 2026) covering 382 line items across five geographic warehouse distribution points. Georgia school districts have posted sustained activity: Hancock County Schools (IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB due April 29, 2026), Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017 due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34 due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System acting through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN26-003 due February 18, 2026, and RFP SN26-004 due March 4, 2026 covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined). Oregon Department of Corrections ITBs specify 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with historical pricing at $21.84 per case; delivery is FOB destination in full truck loads with Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders receiving a combined 10% preference. Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract requires delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 term with four optional renewal years and firm fixed pricing. Most recently posted opportunities include Dallas Independent School District (RFP JC250079 due April 2, 2026) for various food products including a spice lot and ice cream lot, and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office quarterly weekly food order (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52820 due June 17, 2026) with brand-specific requirements.
