UNSPSC 50322010: Dried navaho blackberries

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

UNSPSC 50322010 Dried Navaho blackberries (Commodity) covers fresh and processed produce supplied to school nutrition programs and institutional food services, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically targeting dried blackberries as a stand-alone commodity. Instead, the code appears in the context of broader fresh produce and cafeteria food product procurements where blackberries (fresh and dried) are line items among 100–400 total commodity offerings. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with state departments and correctional agencies also active; Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport's Board of Education nutrition centers are current buyers. Procurement notice types include IFB and RFP vehicles, with sealed-bid and electronic submission processes standard. Buy American requirements under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act mandate 51 percent domestic content for processed products, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, anti-collusion affidavits, and nutritional documentation.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including blackberries, with a due date of June 26, 2026, for delivery to three school sites (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids on commodities (BNB053266) due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia posted a May 15, 2026 solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) for food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22 due date. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic areas (originally due April 21, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2). A narrow, item-specific solicitation for prunes (IFB236532, TDCJ) with a February 20, 2026 due date shows that dried fruit procurement does occur but remains bundled within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone dried-blackberry purchases.
