UNSPSC 50322007: Dried jostaberries

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

UNSPSC 50322007 Dried jostaberries is a Commodity code that receives minimal activity in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally refers to a single dried fruit product, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations actually requesting dried jostaberries. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad school nutrition and correctional food service contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods — categories that dwarf any single dried fruit commodity. The one opportunity most closely aligned with the code's scope — Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts at a correctional facility — requests dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, but does not reference jostaberries. School districts and counties issuing under this code are buying master grocery contracts, fresh produce agreements, and cafeteria food product lines with hundreds of SKUs rather than procurement focused on dried jostaberries specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the actual scope of opportunities suggests either broad mis-tagging in the procurement system or that jostaberries are bundled into larger food service contracts where they represent a negligible line item if present at all.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts, with notable opportunities from Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia, IFB due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Schools (Hinesville, Georgia, IFB due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), Douglas County Schools (RFP 26-004 and 26-003 for the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across two Georgia areas), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, due May 4, 2026). Outside the Southeast, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia, IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri, due April 29, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport and State of Georgia also show activity. The County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (due February 5, 2026) is the sole opportunity explicitly focused on dried fruit categories. Given the absence of actual jostaberry procurement in the recent record, this code represents a low-priority target unless your firm supplies jostaberries as a minor component of broader school nutrition or correctional food service offerings.
