UNSPSC 50566600: Non GMO strawberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50566600 Non GMO strawberry purees is a Class code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this taxonomy designation. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, broad grocery items, and food service distribution—none of which are strawberry purees or strawberry-based products. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal scope and the food commodities actually being procured. State and local food service buyers—particularly school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities—use this and adjacent food product codes to source a wide range of packaged and fresh provisions for institutional feeding programs. The issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Hancock County Schools), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal/county nutrition operations (Bridgeport Board of Education). Multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles, such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts, also aggregate demand for economies of scale.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity across Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products across multiple NIGP classes (due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including berries and apples (due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's commodity procurement for the Board of Education Nutrition Center covering eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Pricing is typically firm and fixed for contract periods; Buy American provisions and minimum domestic content requirements (generally 51 percent for processed products) are standard. Payment terms commonly run Net 30 to Net 45 days, with delivery to school sites, warehouses, or state facilities on Monday-through-Friday schedules, and contracts frequently include renewal options extending one to five years.
