UNSPSC 50562101: Non GMO bluetta blueberry purees

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO bluecrop blueberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562101 Non GMO blueetta blueberry purees is a Commodity code covering specialty fruit purees and processed fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations. State and local governments procuring under this code buy shelf-stable and fresh-pack fruit products for institutional feeding — schools, correctional facilities, veterans homes, senior services centers, and state-supported living facilities. The issuing bodies span school districts (notably Austin Independent School District and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), and municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education). Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating processed fruit items as part of larger commodity food packages, with specifications often permitting brand-or-equal substitutions alongside named-brand offerings to enable competitive pricing while maintaining quality and nutritional parity.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' June 2026 RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including fruit products for the Department of Community Services, with delivery to Lawrenceville, Georgia by December 7, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 brand-or-equal and brand-specific proposals for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy covering September through December; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award $21.84 per case) with FOB destination delivery to Salem; and Austin Independent School District's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with central warehouse delivery. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB, covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years, signals larger integrated fruit and food procurement platforms where blueberry purees compete as component items rather than as standalone line items.
