UNSPSC 50392704: Organic howe cranberry purees

The variety of organic cranberries known as organic howe cranberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50392704 Organic howe cranberry purees, a Commodity code, maps poorly to recent state and local activity. The code's abstract title describes a highly specialized processed-fruit product, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it overwhelmingly involve canned and fresh fruit procurement across much broader categories—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and general food and consumable supplies for institutional food service. Of the fifteen opportunities in the dataset, only two directly reference canned fruit applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB S2910000017453 and S2910000016975); the rest cover fresh produce, dried fruits, mixed grocery items, and full food service supply chains that do not align with organic cranberry purees as a discrete commodity line. The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy placeholder for fruit products across multiple processing states and sourcing models, rather than a narrowly focused procurement category.

State and local issuing bodies using this code span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Hancock County Schools, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education (Muscogee County School District), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix. Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut) and includes Oregon and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case delivered to Salem; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables with 210 line items and a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, with a bid deadline of June 17, 2026. The code shows active procurement activity but inconsistent alignment with its stated commodity focus.
