UNSPSC 50302709: Searless cranberries

The variety of cranberries known as searless cranberries

UNSPSC 50302709 Searless cranberries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement that state and local governments source primarily through school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional services. Recent opportunities show schools and districts buying dried cranberries alongside complementary dried fruits, nuts, and fresh produce rather than sourcing cranberries in isolation; the code sees limited standalone activity, appearing instead as a line item within broader produce, grocery, or food-service RFPs where multiple dried-fruit and fresh-produce vendors compete for consolidated contracts.

The mix of issuing bodies is dominated by school districts and boards of education (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bulloch County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Austin Independent School District, Meriden Public Schools, Central Point School District, McAllen Independent School District, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education) alongside a few child care and Head Start programs (City of Edinburg Parks and Recreation, Head Start of Greater Dallas). One correctional facility procurement (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction) solicited dried cranberries. Recent geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the GEC Buying Cooperative's fresh-produce-and-eggs RFP (Douglas County School System, March 4, 2026 due date) serving 30 Georgia districts with estimated $5.5 million annual spending across two geographic areas, and Santa Clara County's dried-fruits-and-nuts ITB (February 5, 2026 due date) for correctional-facility food services specifying dried cranberries alongside raisins, tropical-fruit blend, walnuts, and pecans. The code shows no recent standalone cranberry solicitations; procurement volume and standalone pursuit viability remain limited to cooperative buys and food-basket aggregations where cranberries compete as optional or seasonal line items against other dried-fruit alternatives.
