UNSPSC 50383105: Lingonberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50383105 Lingonberry purees is a Commodity code that names a single food product — lingonberry purees — yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no direct procurement of lingonberry products. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span broad food service provisioning: shelf-stable grocery items for senior services, weekly food orders for veterans' homes and state-supported living centers, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, canned applesauce for correctional facilities, and mixed food commodities for school cafeterias and board of education nutrition centers. The divergence between the code's specific product name and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests either a tagging mismatch or a broader application of the code to food-service categories beyond lingonberries alone. The issuing bodies represent the full range of state and local food-service procurement: county boards of commissioners and boards of education, state departments (Illinois, Oregon, Texas), and municipal purchasing offices. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, and the State of Georgia appear multiple times in the recent activity, indicating repeat buying under related food and consumables codes.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Midwest: Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin Independent School District, HHSC El Paso, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections).
