UNSPSC 50566911: Non GMO elderberry purees

The variety of non GMO fruits known as non GMO elderberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50566911 Non GMO elderberry purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code center instead on canned and fresh fruit products, applesauce, produce, and broader food-service supply, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and procurement practice in the field. School districts dominate the issuing bodies—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) all appear in recent solicitations—alongside state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia state agencies), and specialized facilities (Texas state supported living centers, state hospitals). The actual procurement pattern shows IFBs and RFPs for canned applesauce, fresh produce delivery, grocery staples, and food-service consumables covering dozens to hundreds of line items per solicitation, with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, Buy American compliance (domestic agricultural commodity content thresholds commonly set at 51 percent), HACCP and food-safety certifications, and delivery schedules keyed to school meal operations or institutional food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest—Georgia (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Muscogee County, Douglas County), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ statewide), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Oregon (ODOC)—with secondary activity in Virginia (Fairfax County) and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across apple varieties, berries, and specialty produce (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026). The code shows substantial activity but little alignment with non-GMO elderberry purees specifically; buyers are soliciting commodity fruit products, canned goods, and fresh produce under broad food-service classifications rather than specialty items by ingredient or processing method.
