UNSPSC 50561901: Non GMO apache blackberry purees

The variety of non GMO blackberries known as non GMO apache blackberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561901 Non GMO apache blackberry purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically tagged to blackberry purees. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect a broader pattern of food-service procurement for schools, corrections facilities, veterans homes, county senior services, and state health facilities — encompassing fresh produce, canned and frozen fruits, dried fruit bars, and other shelf-stable proteins and staples. The issuing bodies are diverse: county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Austin ISD, Texas; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas HHSC, Georgia state purchasing), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities. These jurisdictions procure food items through a mix of IFB, RFP, and informal written quote methods, with contracts typically running one year or multi-year with renewal options tied to fiscal cycles.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia, with Gwinnett and Hancock County schools, and state operations), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), the Midwest (Illinois state facilities), and Connecticut (municipal school systems). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 seeking approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, sauces, canned vegetables) with a due date of October 19, 2026, awarded to the lowest responsive bidder; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case) with bids due July 31, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (due August 24, 2026). The code itself shows limited direct activity under the exact blackberry puree specification; the opportunities reflect how state and local procurement offices broadly classify fruit purees, canned fruit products, and other food staples under related commodity codes rather than product-specific blackberry codes.
