UNSPSC 50322202 Dried bluetta blueberries, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce and commodity food items that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food service operations.

Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments and their subordinate agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller), and municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of school nutrition centers. The work involves responding to IFBs and RFPs with sealed or electronic bids, meeting Buy American domestic-content thresholds (typically 51 percent for processed products), providing HACCP and USDA compliance documentation, maintaining emergency backup stock, and delivering on firm fixed-price contracts with delivery terms ranging from July 2026 through June 2027 or multi-year terms extending into 2029.
