UNSPSC 50322210: Dried northblue blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50322210 Dried northblue blueberries is a Commodity code covering dried blueberry products procured by state and local school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities on file show school districts and state corrections agencies sourcing a range of dried fruits and fresh produce as part of comprehensive food-service contracts, with the dried blueberry specification appearing within larger produce and commodity RFPs rather than as standalone line items. State and local governments under this code are buying dried fruit products primarily for K–12 school meal programs and institutional food service, where dried blueberries compete alongside fresh berries, stone fruits, citrus, and other shelf-stable produce in multi-item supply agreements. Issuing bodies include county school boards, city boards of education, state departments of education, and state corrections agencies—institutional food-service buyers operating under Buy American provisions that typically require minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (Connecticut) solicited 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products with electronic bids due June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products RFP due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 food-service line items due May 4, 2026, including dried and fresh fruits. A separate TDCJ solicitation, Bid No. IW236532, specifically targeted whole pitted dried prunes (a closely related commodity) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes. All solicitations impose firm pricing through the contract term, require HACCP or equivalent food-safety documentation, mandate USDA compliance certification, and award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid or best value.
