UNSPSC 50397109: Organic dewberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50397109 Organic dewberry purees is a Commodity code that spans fruit and vegetable preservation products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service. The recent opportunities under this code show minimal direct demand for organic dewberry purees specifically; instead, state and local buyers are procuring a broader range of canned and fresh fruit products, including applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and supplemental food items for corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, health and human services centers, and state hospitals. The issuing bodies reflect a diverse mix of jurisdictions—the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County), state agencies (Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Education, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), county school systems, and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport)—with school nutrition programs appearing as repeat buyers across multiple solicitations and geographic regions.

The geographic spread spans at least nine states with recent activity: Oregon (Department of Corrections, multiple applesauce bids), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts and state agencies), Illinois (state food procurement), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and others. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center ($1.5 million historical value, due July 13, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services ($9 million estimated annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026). The code shows activity but little evidence that organic dewberry purees as a standalone item commands meaningful procurement volume; buyers are instead purchasing mixed-fruit, commodity-grade, and processed fruit products at scale through institutional food service contracts.
