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, covers shelf-stable and fresh fruit products that state and local governments buy for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, veterans' homes, and state health agencies. The recent opportunities show that procurement under this code spans canned and fresh fruit items, dried fruit products, and commodity-level food supplies, though the specific non-GMO blackberry puree category appears peripherally in a broader pattern of fruit procurement. The mix of issuing bodies includes county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Texas), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia), and municipal boards (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The State of Illinois appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases across multiple fiscal periods.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Illinois, and Oregon between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (200+ line items including berries, due June 26, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026), Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026; HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and Gwinnett County's IWQ for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and produce (due October 19, 2026). Buy American and domestic-sourcing provisions appear in school and corrections procurement (Hancock County, Bridgeport, ODOC), with Oregon offering 10% total preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered vendors). Pricing is typically firm fixed for the contract term, with delivery required to central distribution centers or school nutrition facilities on FOB destination terms. The code shows active, distributed procurement across multiple institutional customer types, though no recent solicitation names non-GMO blackberry purees specifically.
