UNSPSC 50566500: Non GMO saskatoon berry purees

The type of non GMO saskatoon berries known as non GMO saskatoon berries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50566500 Non GMO saskatoon berry purees is a Class code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this category. The recent opportunities tagged with this code—canned applesauce from Oregon Department of Corrections, dried fruit bars and apple crisps from Austin Independent School District, fresh produce and eggs across Georgia school cooperatives, and broad food-supply contracts from Texas health and criminal-justice agencies—show that state and local procurement offices are using this code to classify general fruit products, canned goods, and commodity food items for institutional food service. The code's name references a specific non-GMO ingredient, but the real activity spans canned fruit, dried fruit products, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities delivered to correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and supported living centers. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, Georgia state agencies), and municipal education systems (Bridgeport Board of Education, Dallas Independent School District). School districts and state institutional-care agencies dominate recent solicitations under this code.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery due by July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District posting RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 participating districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Comptroller have posted multiple food-commodity solicitations covering statewide institutional facilities with contract values ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million annually. These are demand-driven, recurring annual procurements with firm pricing, FOB destination terms, and Buy American compliance requirements where applicable, typically bundled with broader school nutrition or institutional food-service contracts rather than marketed as specialty berry products.
