UNSPSC 50322008: Dried loganberries

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

UNSPSC 50322008 Dried loganberries is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a narrow range of dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and institutional food services. The recent solicitations tagged with this code show minimal actual demand for dried loganberries specifically; instead, school districts and state agencies buying under the code are procuring broad fresh and processed produce assortments—apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items—together with proteins, dairy, grains, and kitchen staples to supply school cafeterias and institutional nutrition centers. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried loganberries alone) and what is actually being bought suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code as a catch-all tag for mixed food and produce categories or have assigned it imprecisely to opportunities that span multiple product lines. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal nutrition departments. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear consistently across education-sector opportunities.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) issued an IFB for 115 commodity line items including produce, proteins, and dairy with the same June 26, 2026 deadline and MBE/CBE certification requirements; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple IFBs—a broad cafeteria food products RFB due May 4, 2026, and a prunes-only bid (IW236532) with an original February 20, 2026 deadline. The code shows recent but scattered activity; the nominal commodity (dried loganberries) does not appear to be a material driver of current state and local procurement under this code.
