UNSPSC 50387511: Elderberry purees

The variety of fruit known as elderberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387511 Elderberry purees (Commodity) sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single opportunity identified under this code — Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce, due July 31, 2026 — is a close commodity substitute (applesauce rather than elderberry puree) and does not represent a reliable signal of market demand for the code's core product line. The broader opportunity set in the source spans canned and fresh fruit products, frozen specialty foods, dried fruit items, and produce across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and public school systems, but elderberry purees do not appear as a distinct line item in any of the documented solicitations.

State and local procurement under codes in this commodity family (fruit and vegetable products for institutional food service) is driven primarily by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent activity includes Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) due April 27, 2026. Solicitations typically specify firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with Buy American provisions and USDA standards, commercial general liability insurance ($1–2 million), and awards to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or for best value. The code itself does not support sufficient recent demand to justify targeted pursuit; a vendor holding capacity in canned or fresh fruit products suitable for school and correctional food service would be better positioned by pursuing broader commodity and produce family codes where activity is documented.
