UNSPSC 50566501: Non GMO honeywood saskatoon berry purees

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

UNSPSC 50566501 Non GMO honeywood saskatoon berry purees is a Commodity code that describes a narrow, specialty product line — saskatoon berry purees with non-GMO certification — but state and local procurement records show the code is being applied inconsistently to a far broader range of food procurement. Recent opportunities solicited under this code do not predominantly feature saskatoon berry purees at all. Instead, they span generic shelf-stable and fresh food items for institutional food service: the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited 35 line items of shelf-stable goods including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables via IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, July 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple RFPs for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal formats, August and June 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products (HHS0016792V2, IFB HHS0017449). The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are using UNSPSC 50566501 as a catch-all for institutional food service procurement rather than as a targeted code for saskatoon berry products. Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and health and human services agencies. The code shows no repeat buyer pattern, and no recent opportunity explicitly names non-GMO saskatoon berry purees.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Illinois), with solicitations posted from May through October 2026. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's food items procurement (IWQ 140229, IFB, due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce ITB (S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, $1.5 million historical value for prior period), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026, covering 382 line items). The code shows active procurement but does not align with its stated commodity name, and businesses pursuing this code should verify current tagging practices with individual issuing bodies before investing in proposal development.
