UNSPSC 50383105: Lingonberry purees

The variety of cranberries known as lingonberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383105 Lingonberry purees (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its narrow product scope and actual state and local purchasing activity. Recent solicitations tagged under this code do not feature lingonberry purees; instead, they predominantly cover mainstream food service procurement—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, processed foods, and general grocery supply for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals. The code captures only a small slice of what state and local governments actually buy under the broader fruit and vegetable product families, and lingonberry-specific activity does not surface in recent postings. School districts, state corrections and health agencies, and county boards of education drive the majority of volume in this family, with purchases spanning canned and fresh fruit, produce aggregation, and distributed food service across multiple delivery points.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois based on the recent-opportunities block. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate Invitations to Bid for canned fruit applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026) at approximately $21.84 per case, each spanning multiple truckload volumes. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide, with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years (HHS0016792, due March 19, 2026; HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Connecticut issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, grocery items, and ancillary food products—Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Austin Independent School District (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (two solicitations, both due April 29, 2026). The sourcing activity is driven by K–12 nutrition programs, correctional food service, and institutional health care operations rather than by specialty fruit purées. Lingonberry purees do not appear in any recent representative opportunity, suggesting the code is either underutilized or misapplied in state and local procurement tagging.
