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 encompasses dried berries and other preserved fruit products purchased by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy dried fruits primarily as components of broader grocery or cafeteria food product procurements, where they appear alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts and departments of education at the county and state level, with occasional procurement by correctional facilities and county sheriffs' departments. School nutrition programs dominate the market, with districts awarding annual or multi-year contracts on a fixed-price or cost-plus basis to supply meal operations across multiple school sites.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response date; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, covering approximately 72 line items across two geographic areas with March 4, 2026 sealed proposals due; and the County of Santa Clara (California) ITB for dried fruits and nuts in support of the Department of Correction Food Services, with five line items of dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans due February 5, 2026. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content) and USDA compliance dominate contract terms. Most school district procurements mandate firm pricing for the full contract period, weekly delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday, and HACCP or food safety certifications. The code shows active and steady state and local procurement activity driven by year-round school nutrition demand and regular contract renewals.
