UNSPSC 50384200: Huckleberry purees

The variety of fruit known as huckleberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384200 Huckleberry purees is a Class code that names a narrow product family, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it describe a much broader mix of food service procurement — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, proteins, dairy, condiments, bakery items, and shelf-stable pantry goods ranging from peanut butter to rice to canned vegetables. School districts, state departments, counties, and cities are the primary issuing bodies. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB with over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, citrus, melons, leafy greens, and specialty fruits. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026), with the July ITB closing July 31, 2026, specifying 4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case historically awarded to Robbins Sales. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and an initial term running September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027; the same state agency also issued a supplemental food procurement (HHS0016792v2) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services with delivery by December 7, 2026, and quotes due October 19, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB (304T-26-300CF) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations with the response date extended to May 4, 2026.

Activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Georgia, Texas, and Oregon each show multiple recent solicitations; Illinois and Connecticut appear in single recent opportunities. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted at least two weekly food order procurements for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants) with proposals due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026 respectively. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education Nutrition Center solicited 115 line items of commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products) with bids due June 26, 2026 and a contract term through June 30, 2027; the City requires MBE/CBE certification under municipal ordinance. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with proposals due July 16, 2026. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear consistently across school nutrition and state facility procurements. Delivery timelines range from 45 to 72 hours, with most contracts running one year with optional renewals. Award typically goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria; several issuing bodies reserve the right to split awards by line item or make multiple awards.
