UNSPSC 50394900: Organic bayberry and myrtle purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic bayberries or myrtles which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50394900 Organic bayberry and myrtle purees, a Class code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under the code today. Recent opportunities posted under this code solicit shelf-stable and fresh food items for institutional food service — canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, proteins, dairy, and general food and supply procurement for schools, corrections facilities, social service centers, and state institutions. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), cities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-supported living centers. The code shows persistent activity but the stated commodity name—organic bayberry and myrtle purees—does not align with any of the recent solicitations, which center on mainstream food service staples and fresh produce rather than specialty fruit purees.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, bids due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent each), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792v2 (bid response due March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (quotes due October 19, 2026), and Austin Independent School District procuring dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service under RFP 27RFP004 (proposals due July 16, 2026).
