UNSPSC 50387100: Saskatoon berry purees

The type of fruit known as saskatoon berries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387100 Sashatoon berry purees is a Class code that nominally describes a single fruit product, but the recent state and local contract opportunities under this code do not reflect purchases of sashatoon berry purees specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broad food-service procurement for school districts, county social services, state corrections facilities, state veterans homes, state health and human services agencies, and municipal education boards. The work actually being solicited includes canned applesauce, fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens), dried fruit bars, and mixed shelf-stable and frozen food products for institutional food service. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county boards of education and social services (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), city education boards (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education), and state-operated care facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). The Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice in the recent posting block, in May and July 2026, both for canned applesauce.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with the heaviest concentration in the South and West. Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections, two applesauce bids in May and July 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County in October 2026 for shelf-stable food items; Hancock County schools in June 2026 for fresh produce; State of Georgia in May 2026 for food supplies), Texas (Austin Independent School District in June 2026 for dried fruit bars; Texas Health and Human Services Commission in June and May 2026 for institutional food and consumables; Texas Comptroller for TDCJ in May 2026 for cafeteria food products), Illinois (State of Illinois in June and August 2026 for weekly food orders to Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport in June 2026 for commodities), and others show active procurement. The Oregon Department of Corrections' two applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) represent representative recent activity: the June bid sought 1,904 cases at approximately $21.83 per case, with a five percent Oregon preference; the July bid sought 4,760 cases to Salem's Central Distribution Center within 60 days of order. The Gwinnett County IFB for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) closed October 19, 2026 at the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The mismatch between the code name (sashatoon berry purees) and the opportunities listed (applesauce, general food service, dried fruit bars, fresh produce) signals that this code sees little activity consistent with its nominal scope and may be misapplied by issuing bodies to broader food-procurement work.
