UNSPSC 50384204: Mountain huckleberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50384204 Mountain huckleberry purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities posted under this code span shelf-stable food products for institutional food service—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, and proteins—but mountain huckleberry purees do not appear in any of the nine recent solicitations examined. The code's abstract name and the concrete procurement activity diverge substantially, suggesting either a systematic tagging mismatch or that mountain huckleberry purees are not a material procurement category at state and local levels. School districts, county nutrition programs, state corrections and health agencies, and municipal education boards are the primary issuing bodies, with food service being the consistent operational focus across all opportunities reviewed.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with no single state dominating. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned applesauce ITBs (May 2026, July 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have each issued substantial food-product procurements; and Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut jurisdictions have posted nutrition-related IFBs and RFQs. A representative recent opportunity is Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026. Another is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Given the consistent absence of mountain huckleberry purees from posted work, the code shows little relevant recent activity, and prospective bidders should verify with individual issuing bodies whether this commodity code correctly describes their procurement needs or whether activity is better captured under broader codes spanning shelf-stable or fresh produce.
