UNSPSC 50561912: Non GMO olallie blackberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50561912 Non GMO olallie blackberry purees is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable and fresh fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations—including school nutrition programs, senior services, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers. State and local governments soliciting under this code span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and county senior services departments. The scope of work reflects a broad spectrum of fruit procurement: canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh berries (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries), and shelf-stable produce items that meet USDA commodity specifications, Buy American requirements where applicable, and compliance with FDA and USDA food safety standards. Vendors must deliver to multiple locations—central distribution centers, school nutrition warehouses, prison commissaries, and state facility dining operations—and typically must maintain firm pricing for the contract period while absorbing transportation and fuel surcharges on an FOB Destination basis.

Recent opportunities show activity across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (1,904 cases in May 2026 and 4,760 cases in July 2026, both due by 9:00 AM on their respective deadlines), with a historical price of approximately $21.83 per case and Oregon-resident and Oregon-sourced preferences of 5 percent each. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, for delivery to its Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Austin Independent School District issued an RFP in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and Hancock County Board of Education requested fresh produce bids in June 2026 covering over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites.
