UNSPSC 50321900: Dried bearberries

The type of fruit known as bearberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321900 Dried bearberries, a Class code, sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried bearberries as a discrete commodity, yet the recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations specifically for dried bearberries. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broad school nutrition procurement (fresh produce, groceries, master grocery contracts), correctional facility food services, and miscellaneous food commodities—categories that encompass dried fruits generically but do not isolate bearberries as a line item or focus area. One opportunity—Santa Clara County's Invitation to Bid ITBPRC-FY260617 for Dried Fruits and Nuts for its Elmwood Correctional Facility—includes dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend) but specifies no bearberries. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity scope and the broad grocery and produce procurement activity in the dataset indicates that state and local buyers either do not solicit dried bearberries as a standalone item, classify such purchases differently, or acquire them as part of larger multi-item food contracts where individual dried fruit SKUs are not separately tagged to UNSPSC.

Recent procurement activity under this code originates from school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), municipalities and county corrections (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; County of Santa Clara, California), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller), and multi-district buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative on behalf of 30 Georgia school districts). School districts dominate the recent-opportunity list with multiple RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and comprehensive grocery supply contracts due between late February and late June 2026, concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and California. A vendor pursuing this code should recognize that the true procurement activity is in fresh produce and school nutrition items broadly rather than dried bearberries specifically, and that opportunities cluster around school district nutrition programs on annual cycles aligned to fiscal years starting July 1st.
