UNSPSC 50392100: Organic billberry purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic billberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50392100 Organic billberry purees is a Class code that describes processed fruit products for institutional food service, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect billberry procurement — instead, they span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-supply contracts for schools, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and others), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate the buying pattern, with contracts structured as annual fixed-price term agreements, often renewable for multiple years, and frequently sourced through electronic procurement portals and RFPs or IFBs. Evaluation favors lowest responsive and responsible bids meeting detailed specifications, compliance with Buy American Act requirements (domestically sourced or processed with minimum 51% domestic agricultural commodities in processed items), USDA commodity compliance, and vendor performance history.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with school districts across multiple states conducting parallel procurements for similar product categories during overlapping timeframes. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), seeking approximately 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items and Net Off Invoice product bids for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026); and Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined). Pricing is firm fixed for contract periods, delivery is typically FOB destination with all freight prepaid, and most contracts include insurance requirements (commonly $1 million general liability) and compliance certifications including debarment, E-Verify, and non-collusion affidavits.
