UNSPSC 50397200: Organic chokeberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50397200 Organic chokeberry purees is a Class code representing a narrow commodity line within fruit and produce procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code actually buy shelf-stable and fresh fruit products for institutional food service — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce — rather than chokeberry purees specifically. Recent opportunities show school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and city boards of education issuing IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs for food items that fall within the broader fruit and produce family. Scope across posted opportunities includes canned fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications, fresh produce by case and unit count, and processed fruit items for institutional canteens and food service operations. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, senior services departments, and veterans' homes. The code shows activity across multiple states but no strong geographic concentration — recent solicitations originate from Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Georgia school districts, with individual issuers appearing once or twice in the dataset.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case (posted July 10, 2026, bids due July 31, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with response due May 4, 2026; the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (posted June 26, 2026, proposals due July 16, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items (posted June 10, 2026, bids due June 26, 2026). Most solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions, USDA commodity or grade standards, and federal food safety regulations. Award decisions typically favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders based on unit pricing, with several issuers reserving the right to split awards by line item or make single or multiple awards based on best value.
