UNSPSC 50392005: Organic chester blackberry purees

The variety of organic blackberries known as organic chester blackberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50392005 Organic chester blackberry purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that state and local governments rarely procure directly; recent state and local opportunities show little relevant activity under this code. The recent solicitations tagged with this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, general food and consumable products for institutions, fresh produce, and specialty food items for school nutrition programs—none of which are organic blackberry purees or close substitutes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods being solicited suggests that this commodity code either sees minimal real procurement activity or is infrequently applied by issuing bodies to matching commodity acquisitions.

School districts, state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, and county boards of education dominate recent food procurement activity across the broader food commodity space, with recent opportunities concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other facilities (due July 13, 2026 with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually). Given the code's apparent disconnect from current procurement patterns, vendors should verify the actual commodity classification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under this UNSPSC number.
