UNSPSC 50322103: Dried mountain bilberries

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

UNSPSC 50322103 Dried mountain bilberries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance to the narrow commodity name. The recent opportunities block records five state and local food procurement notices, four of which concern fresh produce and bulk cafeteria food supplies for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities rather than dried bilberries specifically. One solicitation from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice does reference dried prunes—a dried fruit product—but the others span fresh apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and staple foods for institutional feeding. State and local governments purchasing under food commodity codes typically issue notices through school district nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and municipal education boards. Issuing bodies in the recent sample include the Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of the Board of Education), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These represent a mix of county and state procurement offices serving institutional food service operations.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas.
