UNSPSC 50391900: Organic bearberry purees

The variety of organic fruit known as organic bearberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391900 Organic bearberry purees is a Class code that state and local governments solicited under during 2026, though the recent opportunities show no direct procurement of bearberry purees—instead, the code encompasses shelf-stable and fresh fruit products acquired for food service operations at schools, corrections facilities, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. State and local issuing bodies buying under this code include county boards of education, county departments of community services, state corrections and health agencies, school districts, and municipal boards of education. The scope reflects broad food commodity procurement: dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens), canned applesauce, and supplemental food items for institutional feeding programs. Issuing bodies solicit through IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quotes (IWQs), with most contracts requiring firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions where school lunch funding is involved, and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000.
