UNSPSC 50385300: Bayberry and myrtle purees

The type of fruit known as bayberry or myrtle which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385300 Bayberry and myrtle purees is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty fruit purées—bears no relation to the food products actually being solicited under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and institutional food service supplies across school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies. The mismatch between the code's name and the work posted suggests the code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all classification for processed and fresh food procurement that extends well beyond bayberry and myrtle products.

State and local solicitations under UNSPSC 50385300 originate from school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts account for the largest share of recent activity. Geographic concentration spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services covering approximately 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. Buy American provisions and nutritional standards appear consistently across school district solicitations; commodity pricing indexed to USDA wholesale or terminal market reports is common; and firm fixed pricing for full contract terms is standard, with adjustments limited to consumer price index changes or documented manufacturer cost increases.
