UNSPSC 50387531: Rowanberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50387531 Rowanberry purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure rowanberry and related fruit purees, concentrates, and processed fruit products for institutional food service under this code, though recent opportunities show that most purchasing activity targets broader fruit categories—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed commodity food items—rather than rowanberry specifically. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county and municipal school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state-supported living centers. School nutrition and corrections food service dominate the recent activity, with procurement offices in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut posting solicitations for fresh produce, frozen and canned fruit products, and mixed food commodities over the past four months. The code sees regular activity tied to annual nutrition budgets, quarterly contracting cycles, and food service replenishment at state and local institutions.
