UNSPSC 50392007: Organic jostaberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50392007 Organic jostaberry purees, a Commodity code, nominally names a single fruit product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of jostaberry purees. Instead, the opportunities cover broad food service categories spanning canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, general food and consumable products for correctional facilities and state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The work being solicited ranges from shelf-stable shelf-stable proteins, grains, sauces, and canned vegetables (Gwinnett County), to fresh produce across apple varieties, berries, melons, and leafy greens (Hancock County Schools, Austin ISD), to comprehensive food and consumable line-item procurement for state hospitals and correctional institutions (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas TDCJ). Issuing bodies include state purchasing offices (Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), municipal school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), state-operated facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon and Texas correctional systems), and health and human services agencies. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with organic jostaberry purees specifically; the tagged opportunities represent a classification mismatch between the nominal commodity and actual purchasing activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ statewide procurement, Austin ISD), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Illinois (Chief Procurement Office for Veterans Home at Quincy), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical pricing); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple fruit and vegetable varieties across the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); Austin ISD's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps under Texas Education Code Section 44.031(3) (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026); and the Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB encompassing 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period). Buy American provisions and minimum domestic content requirements (51 percent for processed products) appear consistently across school district and state facility solicitations. Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value, with multiple-vendor splits permitted at issuing body discretion.
