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, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly matching its nominal scope; the posted opportunities under this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food and consumable products for institutional food service rather than bearberry purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code taxonomy include departments of corrections, school nutrition programs across independent school districts and county boards of education, health and human services commissions, and state-supported living centers. The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, with school districts and state agencies representing the primary buyer segment. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period (due July 13, 2026).

The code taxonomy demonstrates activity primarily among school nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations, with institutional buyers emphasizing compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, and delivery to centralized warehouses or multiple school sites. Recent procurements under related codes show firm fixed pricing for contract periods, prevailing wage and insurance requirements (typically $1 million commercial general liability), HACCP and food safety certifications, and awards to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or based on best value. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, and Austin ISD solicitations) and Georgia (multiple school district fresh-produce and nutrition procurements), with ongoing activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections) and regional school systems across multiple states. Issuers typically apply local and state preference programs where applicable; for example, Oregon Department of Corrections applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident-headquartered bidders, while Texas health and human services procurements exclude HUB subcontracting plan mandates but encourage voluntary participation. Contract terms generally run July through June fiscal years for school districts or multi-year periods for state agencies, with renewal options for additional one to five years contingent on performance and price stability indexed to consumer price indices or market indices where permitted.
