UNSPSC 50396803: Organic ever bearing strawberry purees

The variety of organic strawberries known as organic ever bearing strawberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50396803 Organic ever-bearing strawberry purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local food service purchasing for fresh and processed fruit products, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for this specific item. State and local governments use this code's parent family to procure shelf-stable and fresh food inventory for institutional food service operations—schools, corrections facilities, senior centers, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. The scope of actual buying activity spans canned and frozen fruit, applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce (including berries), and mixed commodity food orders, where units of measure range from individual cases to full truckloads and pricing is typically quoted per case or per unit of measure. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education; the State of Illinois (via the Chief Procurement Office) and the State of Oregon (Department of Corrections) appear as repeat buyers of similar fruit product categories within recent months.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Illinois), with solicitations posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per order, ITB postings in May and July 2026, historical pricing near $21.82–$21.84 per case); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly procurements, June–August 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned goods (October 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental and general food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFBs with estimated three-year values up to $4.5 million (May–June 2026); and the Austin Independent School District requesting RFP proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (June 2026). Buy American preferences (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and prevailing wage requirements apply in several states. The specific code designation for organic ever-bearing strawberry purees shows no direct recent solicitation activity; the identified opportunities fall within broader food commodity families rather than this narrow strawberry-specific commodity tier.
