UNSPSC 50387534: Sorb berry purees

The variety of fruit known as sorb berries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387534 Sorb berry purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify food products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for sorb berry purees specifically. Instead, jurisdictions are acquiring a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport). School districts and state departments dominate recent activity, with repeat buyers including the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (three separate quarterly food procurements in the June-August 2026 window) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (two applesauce-specific bids in May and July 2026).

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast and West, with activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County and Hancock County schools), Illinois (state-level food service), Oregon (corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, school districts), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 with a 10 percent preference available to Oregon vendors; and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026 (with historical annual value of $1.5 million). The code shows strong activity for commodity fruit products and prepared/shelf-stable foods, but no recent state or local procurement specifically requesting sorb berry purees.
