UNSPSC 50322701: Dried ben lear cranberries

The variety of cranberries known as ben lear cranberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322701 Dried ben lear cranberries (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's specific product scope. The recent opportunities block contains twelve solicitations for school nutrition and correctional food service, but only one—the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts procurement—explicitly names dried cranberries as a line item, and that solicitation is part of a five-item all-or-none bid encompassing dried raisins, dried tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for the Elmwood Correctional Facility. The remaining eleven solicitations target broader food service categories (fresh produce, grocery items, cafeteria food products, and main-line food distribution) where dried ben lear cranberries may appear as subordinate commodities within larger commodity families rather than as a standalone product line. The code's narrow specificity—a particular cultivar of dried cranberry—contrasts sharply with the generalized produce and commodity procurement most school districts and public institutions actually conduct.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) remains the only recent solicitation that names dried cranberries directly, calling for 1,000 cases annually with zero added sugars and 110-125 calories per serving, part of a detention facility food service contract spanning five years with firm pricing in Year 1. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (school districts in Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County) and California (Santa Clara County), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas, though none of these other jurisdictions' recent RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs isolate dried ben lear cranberries as a line item. Opportunities are primarily school-district nutrition programs and state/county correctional food services, issued as IFBs and RFPs with response dates clustered between February and June 2026. The code's activity reflects institutional food service demand but does not surface as a standalone procurement driver; vendors should monitor broader commodity food service solicitations rather than expect regular, dedicated tender activity under this specific UNSPSC designation.
