UNSPSC 50561900: Non GMO blackberry purees

The type of non GMO blackberries known as non GMO blackberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561900 Non GMO blackberry purees, a Class code, does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this category based on recent solicitation activity. The source shows no recent opportunities tagged to this code; instead, the indexed opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed food and consumable products for school nutrition, corrections, and state-supported living facilities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (blackberry purees, non-GMO) and the actual purchasing activity (mainstream canned fruits, fresh produce, and food service staples) suggests either classification drift in how jurisdictions are tagging opportunities or that the code sees minimal organic procurement volume relative to adjacent food and produce categories.

School districts and state health and corrections agencies drive the visible activity in this family. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, delivery in five truck loads, bids due July 31, 2026, historical price $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide to supply state hospitals and supported living centers (210 line items, $4.5 million maximum potential value over three years); and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, vegetables, delivery to three school sites, bids due June 26, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service as the primary buying entities. Buy American and domestic-content preferences are standard across school and institutional solicitations, and most opportunities require firm fixed pricing with minimal or no fuel surcharges, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity or nutrition standards.
