UNSPSC 50322015: Dried youngberries

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

UNSPSC 50322015 Dried youngberries (Commodity) is not active in recent state and local procurement. The source contains twelve food-service solicitations from school districts, county schools, state departments, and correction facilities issued between January and June 2026, spanning dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans), fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, leafy greens, citrus), proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared entrees—but none specifically reference dried youngberries. One opportunity (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) solicited dried tropical fruit mix blend alongside dried raisins and cranberries for a detention facility, and several school district RFPs and IFBs include berries (blackberry, pineberry, raspberry, strawberry) in fresh-produce line items, yet dried youngberries do not appear in any itemized scope. The code may be tagged incorrectly in the state and local taxonomy, or dried youngberries may fall below minimum procurement thresholds in the jurisdictions active during this period.

State and local procurement activity in dried fruit remains concentrated among school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County school districts in Missouri and Georgia respectively, Savannah-Chatham County and Douglas County school systems in Georgia) and correction departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department) sourcing staple dried-fruit items such as raisins, cranberries, and prunes to support cafeteria and inmate food services. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, California, and Virginia. Dried youngberries in particular do not surface in any of the itemized line-item scopes, pricing schedules, or commodity lists across this sample, suggesting either minimal state and local demand or a classification mismatch within the taxonomy.
