UNSPSC 50567000: Non GMO chokeberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50567000 Non GMO chokeberry purees is a Class code that encompasses dried and canned fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, schools, and health and human services agencies. State and local buyers under this code include corrections departments, independent school districts, state health and human services commissions, county and municipal school boards, and specialized state facilities such as state supported living centers. The work being solicited ranges from bulk canned applesauce and dried fruit bars to fresh produce supply contracts spanning dozens of line items, with deliveries on firm, fixed-price FOB destination terms and delivery windows measured in days to weeks. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, under solicitation S2910000017453 (historical award price $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, comprising 210 line items with an estimated three-year contract value of $4.5 million and a February 23, 2026 response deadline; the Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurement for both Net Off Invoice and standard grocery items for school year 2026-27 with April 29, 2026 deadlines; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for main-line food supply and distribution serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million in estimated annual expenditure and a February 18, 2026 due date.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Dallas ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts including Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Hancock County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and Illinois (State CPO). The issuing-body mix tilts heavily toward school districts and their nutrition programs, with significant volume from state corrections departments, state health agencies, and supported living centers. State procurement offices occasionally aggregate buying for multiple agencies or geographic regions through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 Georgia school districts across two areas). Buy American provisions are standard across school nutrition and public institution food service contracts, commonly requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products. Insurance requirements typically demand $1 million commercial general liability per occurrence, with some procurements specifying higher limits of $2 million aggregate or umbrella coverage. Contracts universally require firm, fixed pricing for the initial term with limited midterm adjustment provisions (generally 5 percent manufacturer price increases or CPI adjustments permitted at renewal), FOB destination with prepaid freight, and delivery windows of 48 hours to weekly frequency depending on facility type. Evaluation prioritizes lowest responsive and responsible bidding on either line-item or total-cost bases, with some school districts reserving the right to award to single or multiple vendors. No federal set-asides (such as HUBZone or 8(a)) appear; state-level set-asides such as Oregon's resident and in-state processing preferences (5 percent each) and Texas MBE/WBE encouragement (without mandate) are present in select solicitations. Response deadlines cluster in spring (February through June 2026) for summer start dates, with a secondary cluster in March through May for school-year (July 2026 through June 2027) contract terms. The code shows sustained, recurring procurement activity across a broad institutional buyer base with substantial annual volumes and stable demand cycles tied to school calendars and facility meal service operations.
