UNSPSC 50322702: Dried early black cranberries

The variety of cranberries known as early black cranberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322702 Dried early black cranberries is a Commodity code that covers procurement of dried cranberry products for institutional food service, most commonly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local governments procure dried cranberries as individual commodity line items within larger food supply contracts, typically bundled with other dried fruits, fresh produce, proteins, and staple foods to meet dietary variety and nutritional requirements. The solicitations show dried cranberries appearing alongside dried raisins, tropical fruit mixes, walnuts, and pecans in correctional food service contexts, and as single-serving or bulk items in school meal programs where they support breakfast and lunch menus alongside fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared entrees.

School districts dominate recent procurement activity under this code—Hancock County Board of Education (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 posted IFBs and RFPs for food service commodities in the first half of 2026. Correctional facilities also represent active buyers; Santa Clara County's Department of Correction solicited dried cranberries as a line item in a five-year ITB for dried fruits and nuts at Elmwood Correctional Facility in January 2026. Georgia school districts appear most frequently in recent opportunities. Hancock County Schools' IFB (due June 26, 2026) and Liberty County's IFB (due April 29, 2026) both sought fresh and processed produce across hundreds of line items with Buy American requirements and firm pricing for the full contract year. Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) specifically called for 1,000 cases annually of dried cranberries on an all-or-none basis alongside raisins, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, with five-year firm pricing in Year 1 and capped annual increases thereafter. Most school district contracts run July 1 through June 30, with awards to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis and firm fixed pricing that excludes fuel surcharges. Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California show the strongest recent activity, with the majority concentrated in school nutrition procurement across the Southeast.
