UNSPSC 50322705: Dried lingonberries

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

UNSPSC 50322705 Dried lingonberries is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The available opportunities show no bids or contracts for dried lingonberries; instead, the code encompasses broad food service procurement by school districts, correctional facilities, and county nutrition programs — fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous grocery staples that dominate school lunch and institutional feeding contracts. The nominal commodity (dried lingonberries) is a specialty item unlikely to appear in routine K-12 or corrections food service supply chains, and the indexed opportunities reflect generic food-supply-chain activity rather than procurement of this specific product. Recent opportunities tagged under the code include IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, master grocery contracts, and cafeteria food products from Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas corrections facilities, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut, and Santa Clara County California.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly K-12 school districts and regional school nutrition cooperatives, with secondary activity from county corrections departments and municipal food service offices. School districts represent the bulk of activity, with multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative for Georgia districts) bundling procurement across 18 to 30 member districts. Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham SCCPSS, and the GEC Cooperative), with secondary clusters in Texas (TDCJ), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026; City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) commodities for school nutrition due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026; and Santa Clara County (California) dried fruits and nuts ITB due February 5, 2026. The Douglas County School System RFP for main-line food supply and distribution services estimated annual expenditure at approximately $9 million; the GEC Buying Cooperative fresh produce and eggs RFP estimated approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two.
