UNSPSC 50322014: Dried thornless hull blackberries

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

UNSPSC 50322014 Dried thornless hull blackberries, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried thornless hull blackberries or even dried blackberries as standalone line items. School nutrition programs—the primary buyers in the block—purchase fresh produce, including fresh blackberries in limited cases, and dried fruits as commodity bundles (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes), but the available records do not show isolated demand for the specific dried blackberry product this code describes. The County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) procures dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for its detention facility food service, demonstrating that state and local corrections and school nutrition operations do source dried fruit products; however, dried blackberries do not appear in that or any other solicitation in the recent-opportunities dataset. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Virginia (Fairfax County), plus the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, issued produce bids in the March-June 2026 window, but these encompass fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery items rather than specialty dried fruit commodities.

The issuing bodies active in the broader dried-fruit and produce procurement space include independent school districts, county school systems, state departments of criminal justice, and county corrections facilities across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, California, Connecticut, and Texas. Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia school systems dominate the recent record), with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Southwest. The code shows no active market signal—no recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB directly soliciting dried thornless hull blackberries. Vendors pursuing this Commodity code should monitor school nutrition and corrections food service RFPs for opportunities to bundle dried blackberries into master grocery or specialty dried-fruit line items rather than expect standalone dried-blackberry solicitations.
