UNSPSC 50322704: Dried howe cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50322704 Dried howe cranberries is a Commodity code whose nominal scope maps poorly to the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities show school nutrition programs and correctional facilities procuring fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy products, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, and other cafeteria staples—not dried cranberries specifically. One exception is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) IFB for whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60-70 count size, U.S. Grade B quality, packed 25 pounds per box, which aligns with the dried-fruit commodity scope but does not represent cranberries. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to dried howe cranberries as a distinct procurement line item; the tagged opportunities reflect broad food-supply contracts in which dried cranberries may appear as one among many commodity categories or may not appear at all.

State and local buyers posting under this code span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia), and criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent IFB and RFP postings in June and May 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition RFQ for fresh produce across 200+ line items with response due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut IFB for cafeteria commodities (115 line items) due June 26, 2026; and the Georgia state food-supplies RFP due June 22, 2026. Vendors should verify whether current and future opportunities under this code actually solicit dried cranberries or whether the code assignment reflects a data-entry mismatch in the procurement notice itself.
