UNSPSC 50387104: Thiessen saskatoon berry purees

The variety of saskatoon berries known as thiessen saskatoon berries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387104 Thiessen saskatoon berry purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect procurement of saskatoon berry products at all. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and general food service consumables — with no specific mention of saskatoon berries or saskatoon berry purees. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual buying activity. State and local governments use this code to solicit food service supplies for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, senior services, and veterans' homes. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education across multiple states.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026), each for approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with historical pricing near $21.83 per case.
