UNSPSC 50321902: Dried red bearberries

The variety of bearberries known as red bearberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321902 Dried red bearberries is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers dried red bearberries as a discrete food product; however, recent solicitations tagged with this code span broad grocery and produce procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, where dried berries appear as incidental line items within much larger food service contracts rather than as standalone purchases. State and local governments buying under this code seek berries primarily as school meal components or correctional facility food items, bundled into comprehensive meal supply or grocery contracts spanning hundreds of line items across protein, produce, dairy, grain, and condiment categories.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the recent solicitations, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including blackberry, raspberry, and strawberry with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting bids for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) seeking food products across 400 line items via IFB due April 29, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One; and County of Santa Clara (California) soliciting dried fruits and nuts including cranberries and walnuts for detention services via ITB due February 5, 2026. Dried bearberries specifically do not appear in any of the recent opportunity summaries, and the code shows limited independent procurement activity outside broader food-service aggregations.
