UNSPSC 50322202: Dried bluetta blueberries

The variety of blueberries known as bluetta blueberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322202 Dried bluetta blueberries, a Commodity code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually purchasing under this classification based on recent solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad school nutrition procurement categories including fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, grains, and miscellaneous food service items — none of which specifically mention dried blueberries or dried fruit as a standalone line item. School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional facilities are the primary issuing bodies. Activity appears concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and includes multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas), with additional solicitations from Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and California (County of Santa Clara). The code shows material misalignment with its commodity name.

Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for Nutrition Fresh Produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, vegetables, specialty items) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for commodities across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, due June 26, 2026 through OpenGov Procurement Portal; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) to support the Sheriff's Department of Correction at Elmwood Correctional Facility, bids due February 5, 2026. The recent-opportunities block supports dried fruit procurement only in the Santa Clara ITB; the remaining solicitations do not specifically call for dried blueberries or support assignment to this commodity code. Pursue with caution given the code-to-opportunity mismatch.
