UNSPSC 50322203: Dried brigitta blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50322203 Dried brigitta blueberries is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses fresh and processed produce items for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, though the recent opportunities tagged under this code show significant scope mismatch—solicitations include fresh berries, vegetables, proteins, and miscellaneous food products well beyond dried blueberries alone. School districts and state departments of criminal justice are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs soliciting comprehensive fresh-produce line items (over 200 items per solicitation) and correctional systems procuring more varied food staples including proteins, grains, and dairy. The work involves sealed competitive bidding under IFB notices, with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products and delivery to multiple locations on firm, fixed pricing through contract periods running twelve months or longer. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, food safety certifications, USDA grade compliance documentation, and insurance coverage; some school districts apply MBE/CBE preferences.

Activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce for school year 2026-27 via IFB due June 26, 2026, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut seeking commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center under the same June 26, 2026 deadline with 115 line items and MBE/CBE applicability, the State of Georgia posting a broader food supplies and kitchen products solicitation with a June 22, 2026 response date, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for cafeteria food products (approximately 382 line items) with a May 4, 2026 due date extended via addendum. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes closed February 20, 2026, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes. The code shows active procurement but exhibits poor alignment between its nominal scope (dried brigitta blueberries) and actual buying patterns, suggesting either systematic miscoding or inconsistent tagging across state and local nutrition procurement systems.
