UNSPSC 50566503: Non GMO smoky saskatoon berry purees

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

UNSPSC 50566503 Non GMO smoky saskatoon berry purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal relevance to the code's nominal scope. The code describes a specialized fruit purée product, yet the recent solicitations span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders with brand-specific requirements, mixed food and consumable products for state facilities, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, grocery staples for school districts, and supplemental foods for state hospitals and supported living centers. None of these solicitations explicitly request saskatoon berry purees or closely related specialty fruit purées. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, school districts of varying sizes (from independent districts to large county systems), and state-level procurement offices across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. The geographic spread is broad, with concentrated activity in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD) and Georgia (multiple school districts and county boards of education), alongside single opportunities in Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois.

The actual procurement activity visible under this code focuses on commodity and specialty food products for institutional food service, not the niche berry purée product the code nominally describes. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 due date) soliciting canned applesauce in five truckloads under an ITB format with a 5% Oregon goods preference; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (July 16, 2026 due date) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 (February 23, 2026 extended due date) for supplemental food and consumables statewide with 210 line items and a maximum potential value of $4.5 million; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (March 4, 2026 due date) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. The code shows active institutional food-service procurement but limited match to saskatoon berry purée as a distinctive commodity.
