UNSPSC 50322100: Dried bilberries

The type of fruit known as billberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322100 Dried bilberries is a Class code that identifies dried berry products for institutional food service, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal actual procurement of dried bilberries themselves. Instead, the opportunities span broad fresh produce, institutional food commodities, and cafeteria supplies for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state food service operations. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education) and state agencies managing institutional food procurement (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts). These buyers source produce and food items through sealed-bid IFBs with firm pricing, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed items, and delivery to designated institutional locations over multi-month contract periods.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Schools IFB (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) sought over 200 fresh produce line items including berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits delivered to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport IFB (posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covered 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products for delivery to a single nutrition center through June 30, 2027, with MBE/CBE preferences under city ordinance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB (posted May 4, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026) encompassed approximately 382 food items including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and fresh and canned vegetables and fruits for delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations, with contract extension through August 31, 2029 at the agency's discretion. The code shows little targeted procurement of dried bilberries specifically; opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader institutional food sourcing rather than specialized dried-berry supply.
