UNSPSC 50396700: Organic saskatoon berry purees

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

UNSPSC 50396700 Organic saskatoon berry purees is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities indexed under it do not reflect procurement of saskatoon berry purees or similar specialty fruit products. Instead, the code shows activity in broad-based food commodity sourcing for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, county senior services, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers are acquiring shelf-stable proteins, canned fruits and vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, and bakery items through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, school districts, municipal nutrition centers, and county social services departments. The work involves responding to specifications for case-lot quantities of standardized food products with firm fixed pricing, delivery to central distribution points on FOB destination terms, compliance with USDA grades and commodity specifications, and often within 72 hours to 45 days of order placement.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Southwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026, each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at historical pricing near $21.84 per case), with a five percent Oregon-fabrication preference and five percent resident-bidder preference applied.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items through IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026, delivered to Lawrenceville, Georgia). Illinois State Solicitations for weekly food orders at Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted in June and August 2026 (due dates June 17 and August 24) requested both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications.

Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products and HACCP or equivalency certifications appear frequently; most opportunities require commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence and compliance with state prompt payment and prevailing wage statutes where applicable.
