UNSPSC 50562601: Non GMO ben lear cranberry purees

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO ben lear cranberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562601 Non GMO ben lear cranberry purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and fresh fruit products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code show broader fruit procurement activity—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food commodities—rather than cranberry purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Illinois Chief Procurement Office for veteran facilities, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). These jurisdictions procure fruit and produce items primarily for institutional food service—senior centers, state-supported living centers, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and K–12 school nutrition programs. Contracts typically require firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity or grade standards and FDA food safety regulations, and adherence to Buy American provisions where applicable under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.

Recent procurement activity is geographically concentrated in the Southeast and South, with active solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ), and Connecticut (Bridgeport), alongside activity in Oregon (Department of Corrections) and Illinois (state veterans homes at Quincy). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumable products statewide under IFB HHS0017449 with a historical contract value of approximately $1.5 million annually (proposal deadline July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with a historical award price of $21.84 per case (ITB S-29100-00017453, bids due July 31, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Multiple states and localities are actively procuring under this code on rolling or annual cycles, with contract terms typically running one year with renewal or extension options at the issuing body's discretion.
