UNSPSC 50322209: Dried nelson blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50322209 Dried nelson blueberries is a Commodity code that spans fresh and processed produce supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other state and local food service operations. The code appears in active state and local procurement but shows limited recent activity specific to dried blueberries or closely related dried fruit items; the recent opportunities block contains one solicitation explicitly naming dried fruits (Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts ITB for its detention facility), alongside multiple school district produce and grocery procurements that reference broader categories of fresh and processed fruits but do not isolate dried blueberries as a line item. School districts across multiple states are the dominant issuing bodies under this code family, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all soliciting fresh produce, processed fruits, or mixed grocery items. State departments and county correctional authorities also procure under this code; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple food supply IFBs, and Santa Clara County's correctional facility food services solicitation specifically targeted dried fruits.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Virginia, Connecticut, and Missouri. School nutrition procurement dominates the opportunity stream. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posting an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including berries, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases posting an IFB on June 2, 2026 for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) posting an IFB on April 6, 2026 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering food product supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, with bids due April 27, 2026; and Santa Clara County (California) posting an ITB on January 28, 2026 for dried fruits and nuts (including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) to supply its detention facility, with responses due February 5, 2026. All school district solicitations stress Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), firm fixed pricing for the contract term, compliance with HACCP and food safety standards, and weekly or regular delivery to multiple school sites between designated morning and midday windows.
