UNSPSC 50562600: Non GMO cranberry purees

The type of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO cranberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562600 Non GMO cranberry purees, a Class code, encompasses shelf-stable and fresh food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, nutrition programs, and emergency supplies — though the recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically targeting cranberry purees and instead reflect a much broader pattern of food commodity procurement across school districts, corrections facilities, state supported living centers, and county social services. The code sits within a crowded institutional food-service category where state and local purchasing offices routinely issue IFBs, RFPs, and informal quotes for dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and shelf-stable staples; cranberry purees, when procured, appear as individual line items within larger multi-category food solicitations rather than as standalone buys. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), state corrections and human services agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), municipal education departments (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and county social services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia).

Recent activity shows wide geographic spread across the Southeast, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (with delivery to Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with 5 percent local-preference and Oregon-goods-content preferences applied; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. The State of Illinois has issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal solicitations for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear frequently (Hancock County, Bridgeport), and state and local procurement offices commonly apply local-vendor or state-goods preferences where authorized. No recent solicitations explicitly name cranberry purees as a category, signaling that activity under this specific code is embedded within larger multi-item food procurements where individual line items or product substitutions drive the actual buying signal.
