UNSPSC 50322102: Dried dwarf bilberries

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

UNSPSC 50322102 Dried dwarf bilberries, a Commodity code, has generated minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dried fruit product, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not align with its narrow scope; instead, they reflect broad school nutrition, correctional facility food service, and institutional food supply procurement spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. The single opportunity directly mentioning dried fruit—Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Department of Correction—included dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix alongside nuts, but did not specifically call for dwarf bilberries. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); other activity involves state departments (Georgia, Texas), county governments (Santa Clara County, California), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The code shows no targeted procurement focused on dwarf bilberries as a line-item commodity.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and bordering states, with secondary solicitation in California, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response date; Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 with an April 27, 2026 deadline; Liberty County Board of Education's April 2026 IFB for food products with an April 29, 2026 deadline; and Santa Clara County's February 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts with a February 5, 2026 response date. The code appears to be a misclassification vehicle for broader institutional food supply buys rather than a code reflecting genuine demand for the dried dwarf bilberry commodity itself. Vendors pursuing activity under this code should anticipate large-volume school nutrition supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, Buy American requirements, and delivery to multiple school sites rather than specialty dried fruit procurement.
