UNSPSC 50322013: Dried tayberries

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

UNSPSC 50322013 Dried tayberries (Commodity) covers fresh and dried fruit products procured by state and local jurisdictions for school meal programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. The code captures a narrow slice of institutional produce procurement — specifically dried berry products and similar shelf-stable fruit items — within a much broader landscape of school nutrition and food service supply contracts. Recent state and local solicitations show dried fruit appearing as line items within larger fresh produce and grocery aggregations, though one Santa Clara County correctional facility ITB (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) explicitly named dried cranberries, dried raisins, and dried tropical fruit mix as standalone procurement line items. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, supplemented by state departments of criminal justice, county governments, and regional correctional facilities. The Douglas County School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri have all posted major food supply RFPs and IFBs since late January 2026; Texas TDCJ issued a separate IFB specifically for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) at the Corpus Christi location with a 1,400-box minimum order in 60–70 count U.S. Grade B quality.

School-based procurement dominates the code's activity, concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and California through mid-2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with a June 26, 2026 response date, covering multiple apple, berry, and vegetable varieties for three school delivery sites. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 supplies via IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens, and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (Area One $4.4 million, Area Two $1.1 million). Buy American Act compliance with minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content is mandated across school nutrition procurements. Institutional food service demand is steady and recurring annually, but dried tayberries specifically appear rarely in recent solicitations — most dried fruit procurement is for commodity staples (raisins, cranberries, prunes) rather than specialty berries, and dried tayberries are not named in any of the major school district or correctional facility RFPs posted since January 2026.
