UNSPSC 50384204: Mountain huckleberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50384204 Mountain huckleberry purees (Commodity) encompasses canned and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show the code is applied broadly to applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts rather than mountain huckleberry purees specifically. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts, state correctional departments, state health and human services agencies, and county school systems across multiple jurisdictions. Work being solicited ranges from single-commodity purchases—such as the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case, deliverable in five truckloads to Salem)—to broad-spectrum food service contracts like the Dallas Independent School District's February 2026 RFP for various food products and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million. School nutrition programs dominate recent activity, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all issuing comparable IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, grocery items, and food service supplies during June–April 2026.

Geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Recent opportunities cluster in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County school systems), and Missouri (Rockwood School District), with Oregon (Department of Corrections) and Illinois (Chief Procurement Office) representing outlier states. School districts account for the plurality of recent solicitations—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued a Master Grocery K-12 IFB in April 2026 requiring weekly deliveries to 52 locations with firm fixed pricing and a one-year base plus four renewal options; the Douglas County School System cooperatively procured fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across Georgia (estimated $5.5 million annual spend across two geographic areas) via RFP in February 2026. State-level institutional buyers (corrections, health and human services, state hospitals) are repeat participants, particularly the Texas HHSC and Oregon Department of Corrections, both issuing multiple canned-fruit and food-supply ITBs with commodity-grade specifications, firm pricing structures, and FOB destination delivery terms. Buy American provisions and USDA compliance appear standard across school-district and state-agency opportunities; prevailing wage, insurance bonding, and state-specific certifications (E-Verify, debarment, non-collusion affidavits) are routine requirements. The code shows active, distributed procurement activity but little evidence that mountain huckleberry purees specifically drive solicitation volume—tagging appears to reflect generic fruit-product categorization within broader institutional food service contracts.
