UNSPSC 50394901: Organic bayberry purees

The variety of organic fruit known as organic bayberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50394901 Organic bayberry purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal activity in state and local procurement — the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations actually purchasing organic bayberry purees. Instead, the code is tagged to requests for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, eggs, general food and consumable supplies, and prepared entrees sourced by corrections departments, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and state supported living centers. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests the taxonomy classification may be overstated or that state and local buyers are applying the code incorrectly to food service solicitations that fall outside organic fruit puree categories.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service supply under this code include independent school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Dallas ISD), county boards of education (Hancock County in Georgia), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition procurement concentrated in the Southeast and Texas representing the largest cluster of state-level food service activity. Representative solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend, due February 18, 2026.
