UNSPSC 50322204: Dried chandler blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50322204 Dried chandler blueberries is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried fruit products for school nutrition, corrections facilities, and state food-service operations. Recent solicitations show that public buyers are acquiring dried blueberries as part of larger fresh and processed produce contracts for cafeteria operations, though the code appears in mixed-category commodity acquisitions rather than as a standalone line item. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city nutrition centers, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer type. Scope ranges from small quantities embedded in multi-hundred-line-item fresh produce bids to bulk dried-fruit purchases for correctional facility kitchens; Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products are standard across school nutrition solicitations, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, and proof of food-safety certifications.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the South—Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut—based on the four most recent opportunities posted between May and June 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, response due June 26, 2026), a school district RFQ spanning over 200 fresh and processed produce line items with July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases commodities RFB (response due June 26, 2026), which covers 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (response due May 4, 2026 after extension), spanning 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce for six TDCJ distribution points with firm pricing through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals; and a TDCJ dried-prunes acquisition (IFB No. IW236532, original response date February 20, 2026) specifying U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count, 1,400-box minimum order for Corpus Christi delivery, indicating that individual dried-fruit line items do appear in state correctional procurement but as part of larger food-service contracts rather than as dedicated commodity buys.
