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, covers dried berry products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities to supply cafeteria operations and meal-service distribution centers. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried fruit as component ingredients within broader fresh and processed produce categories rather than as standalone line items; the code's nominal specificity to dwarf bilberries does not align with the actual purchasing pattern, which encompasses dried prunes, mixed dried fruits, and berry products as part of comprehensive food-service commodity buys. Issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments of criminal justice operating correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with cafeteria food bids spanning 115 to 200+ line items across proteins, fresh and processed produce, dairy, and dry goods.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in the South and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia (Hancock County Schools and the State of Georgia purchasing division) and Texas (TDCJ, multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas). Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) represents the Northeast presence. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026, response deadline covering over 200 line items and three school-site delivery locations for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for 115 line-item commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruit and vegetable products) with electronic submission by June 26, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on behalf of TDCJ for approximately 382 food-service line items (proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, baking supplies, canned and fresh vegetables, fruits) with response due May 4, 2026 to six TDCJ warehouse locations. All three school and state facilities bids carried Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products.
