UNSPSC 50322002: Dried black satin blackberries

The variety of blackberries known as black satin blackberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322002 Dried black satin blackberries is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of dried blackberry products for school nutrition programs and other institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying dried and fresh berries as components of broader fresh produce and food commodity contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code's nominal focus on dried black satin blackberries specifically does not align closely with current opportunity activity, where berries appear as one product among hundreds in multi-category food procurement RFPs and IFBs. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments of criminal justice (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division). School nutrition programs represent the primary market for berry products under this code, typically bundled within larger fresh produce and food commodity solicitations that include apples, citrus, vegetables, proteins, and dairy in single contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including blackberry and other berries for the 2026-27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, at three school delivery locations and requiring Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products). The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2 from April 21), for cafeteria food products across 382 line items with FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points and firm fixed pricing through August 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. All school lunch solicitations require HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and compliance with the Buy American Provision under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
