UNSPSC 50567203: Non GMO common bearberry purees

The variety of non GMO bearberries known as non GMO common bearberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50567203 Non GMO common bearberry purees is a Commodity code describing specialty fruit purées and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and social services agencies. The recent opportunities under this code reveal that state and local jurisdictions are actually buying a broader range of shelf-stable and fresh fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce including berries and melons, and commodity food items for institutional feeding—rather than bearberry purées specifically. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, school districts, and city nutrition centers; repeat solicitors include the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders), Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce procurements), and Georgia and Texas state agencies purchasing food commodities for multiple institutional locations.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal proposals due August 24, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026), Austin Independent School District in Texas solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP due July 16, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids for commodities including fruit and vegetable products (due June 26, 2026). Contract values range from approximately $41,000 to $4.5 million over three years for multi-year food service arrangements, with most public institutional buyers specifying USDA compliance, Buy American provisions where applicable, firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value criteria.
