UNSPSC 50383108: Pilgrim cranberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50383108 Pilgrim cranberry purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and processed fruit products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for cranberry purees specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a broader pattern of state and local procurement for canned and processed fruit items, fresh produce, and food commodities for corrections facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and commissioners, city boards of education, and independent school districts. Procurement is fragmented across multiple jurisdictions rather than concentrated among repeat buyers, though the State of Illinois has posted multiple weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, and the State of Texas has issued separate RFQs covering food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers. Vendors typically respond to competitive bids (IFB) and informal written quotes (IWQ), with awards made on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value criteria and pricing evaluated on a per-unit basis.

Recent activity spans multiple states with significant posting clusters in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and condiments delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026, with informal quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027 with proposals due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, USDA 2011 commodity compliant, packed in juice, water, or light syrup) with bids due July 31, 2026, featuring a combined 10 percent Oregon preference and historical pricing at $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with bids due July 13, 2026 and a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and prevailing wage compliance appear routinely across school district and state procurements. No recent opportunities explicitly name Pilgrim brand cranberry purees; the code's alignment with actual purchasing activity under recent solicitations appears indirect or historical.
