UNSPSC 50387513: Hackberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50387513 Hackberry purees is a Commodity code that names a highly specific processed fruit product, but state and local governments do not appear to be sourcing hackberry purees under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this code actually seek shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, and an array of commodity proteins and staple foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and social service agencies. State and local procurement under this code encompasses routine institutional meal provision and general food-service supply: purchasing departments at county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and local school districts are the primary issuing bodies. The scope is broad, ranging from single-item procurements (canned applesauce, dried fruit bars) to comprehensive multi-category food-service contracts covering hundreds of line items. Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut show recent activity, with repeat procurement from the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Representative recent opportunities include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026 under IWQ 140229; the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with bids due July 31, 2026 under ITB S-29100-00017453; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (two separate solicitations, both due August 24, 2026); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for bids on food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with estimated annual historical volume of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products procurement covering 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas, with bid response extended to May 4, 2026. The code shows substantial recent state and local activity but is not being used to source hackberry purees specifically.
