UNSPSC 50561909: Non GMO marionberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50561909 Non GMO marionberry purees is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products, though recent solicitations under this code show broader food-service procurement spanning fresh produce, canned fruit, dried fruit bars, and mixed food commodities rather than marionberry purees specifically. State and local agencies soliciting under this code include county boards of education, county commissions, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, independent school districts, and city nutrition services departments. The scope of work encompasses competitive bidding for food items to supply correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, senior services, and state veterans' homes, with awards typically made on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value criteria; pricing is quoted on per-unit or per-case bases with firm fixed rates for stated contract periods, delivery to designated sites on FOB destination terms, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions where applicable, and food safety standards required across all responses.

Recent procurement activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with notable solicitations from the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, Austin Independent School District (Texas), and the State of Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta) due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (1,904 cases, ITB S-29100-00017453, June 2, 2026 close) and a separate ODOC ITB for 4,760 cases (ITB S-29100-00017453, July 31, 2026 close) with 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including fresh, frozen, and refrigerated products, maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years, March 19, 2026 close). The code shows steady activity but no recent solicitations for marionberry purees specifically.
