UNSPSC 50387514: Hawthorn purees

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

UNSPSC 50387514 Hawthorn purees is a Commodity code that covers processed fruit products, though recent state and local opportunities show government buyers actually procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader food and consumable products for institutional food service rather than hawthorn purees specifically. The code sees activity primarily from state departments, school districts, and institutional buyers (corrections facilities, state-supported living centers) seeking shelf-stable fruit products for child nutrition programs and facility food service operations. Issuing bodies span the full range of state and local jurisdictions—state corrections and health agencies, independent school districts, county school systems, city nutrition centers, and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles—with no single repeat buyer dominating the activity. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas health and human services agencies appear in multiple recent solicitations, but the geographic and buyer mix remains diffuse.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITBs for canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 (S2910000017453) and June 2, 2026 (S2910000016975), each covering multiple truckloads of USDA-compliant canned fruit at approximately $21.84 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792) covering 210 line items including canned goods and specialty items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a February 23, 2026 deadline. School district activity dominates the volume: Austin Independent School District issued an RFP (27RFP004) due July 16, 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery and specialty food items in two parallel IFBs with April 29, 2026 deadlines; Hancock County Schools in Georgia requested fresh produce and specialty items (IFB #SN002-2027) due June 26, 2026; and Dallas Independent School District issued a broad RFP (JC250079) covering various food products with an April 2, 2026 deadline. State and local procurement under this code emphasizes firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA commodity specification adherence, and direct warehouse or school delivery, with response formats including ITB, RFP, and RFQ vehicles and contract periods typically running one school or fiscal year with renewal options.
