UNSPSC 50562108: Non GMO legacy blueberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50562108 Non GMO legacy blueberry purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code span canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, and citrus), eggs, and broad food service product lines for institutional dining and school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code name—which specifies a single specialty product—and the scope of actual solicitations suggests the code is being applied as a catch-all for food procurement rather than for the narrow commodity it nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Dallas ISD, Hancock County), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and other institutional food service operators. These buyers conduct food procurement through IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs, with contract terms typically running one school or fiscal year with renewal options.

Geographic activity centers on the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County), Texas (Dallas ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Illinois (State CPO). The largest and most recently posted opportunities include the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million and $1.1 million across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026; the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables procurement with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, with addenda posted as recently as June 2026; the Dallas ISD food products RFP for multiple suppliers across school year 2026-27, due April 2, 2026; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned fruit applesauce ITB with response due July 31, 2026. Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, and firm fixed pricing for contract duration are standard across solicitations. The code shows consistent volume and activity but misalignment with its nominal product category, suggesting procurement professionals should verify actual product scope in each RFP rather than relying on the code designation.
