UNSPSC 50322101: Dried bog bilberries

The variety of billberries known as bog bilberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322101 Dried bog bilberries is a Commodity code representing dried fruit products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts and correctional departments for nutrition programs. State and local purchasing offices source dried fruits—including dried bilberries, prunes, and other preserved fruit items—for institutional food service operations where they function as shelf-stable components in meal planning, dietary supplementation, and bulk food distribution. The solicitations show school nutrition centers and state correctional facilities as the primary issuing bodies, with school districts and state departments of education acquiring fresh and processed produce under broader food-service contracts, and state corrections departments purchasing specific dried-fruit line items to support cafeteria operations across multiple distribution sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional procurement activity in Connecticut and Mississippi.
