UNSPSC 50322200: Dried blueberries

The edible blue or blackish berry of any of several plants (genus vaccinium) of the heath family that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322200 Dried blueberries is a Class code that encompasses fresh and processed berry products procured by school districts, state departments, and correctional agencies for cafeteria and nutrition programs. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through food service solicitations that bundle dried and fresh berries alongside broader commodity categories—blueberries appear as line items within larger produce and food-supply RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone procurements. School nutrition programs are the dominant buying channel, with districts sourcing berries as components of fresh-produce contracts that specify case sizes, delivery schedules, and Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items). Correctional agencies and state food-supply operations also source berries and berry products, though recent opportunities show dried blueberries specifically are rarely isolated in solicitations; instead, they are bundled with other dried fruits, fresh produce, or broad commodity categories.

Recent activity reflects concentrated procurement by school districts and state agencies across the South and Mid-Atlantic. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce across 200+ line items spanning the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products RFP (due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple food-supply IFBs, including one for whole dried prunes (IB236532, due February 20, 2026) that demonstrates appetite for dried fruit within correctional food service. No standalone blueberry solicitations appear in the recent-opportunities block; buyers treat dried blueberries as commodity line items within multi-category food bundles, making pursuit under this code contingent on capability to service larger produce and food-service contracts.
