UNSPSC 50387600: Chokeberry purees

The type of fruit known as chokeberry which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387600 Chokeberry purees is a Class code that encompasses fruit and vegetable purees and related shelf-stable food products purchased by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show minimal direct chokeberry puree solicitation and instead feature broader fresh produce, processed fruit, and general food commodity procurement. State and local buyers under this code include county boards of education, county social services departments, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, cities, and county boards of commissioners. Solicitations typically require products to meet USDA commodity specifications, comply with Buy American provisions where applicable, maintain minimum shelf life, arrive in undamaged condition with proper labeling, and be delivered to central distribution centers or institutional food service locations. Awards are generally made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on unit-of-measure pricing, with many jurisdictions reserving the right to split awards across multiple vendors by line item.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,904 to 4,760 cases per solicitation, with historical pricing near $21.84 per case and a 10 percent Oregon preference available), while the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications across multiple quarters.
