UNSPSC 50322706: Dried mcfarlin cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50322706 Dried mcfarlin cranberries is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of specialized dried fruit products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facility feeding operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and detention authorities buying dried cranberries alongside other dried fruits, nuts, and fresh produce as components of larger meal-service contracts rather than as standalone line items, with cranberries typically appearing as one option among multiple dried-fruit choices in RFPs and IFBs that emphasize compliance with nutritional standards, USDA grade requirements, and domestic sourcing mandates under Buy American provisions.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The County of Santa Clara, California also procures dried cranberries (1,000 cases annually) for its detention facility. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' Invitation for Bid for fresh produce and specialty items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, which lists multiple dried-fruit options; the County of Santa Clara's Invitation to Bids (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) for dried fruits and nuts with sealed bids due February 5, 2026, explicitly naming dried cranberries at 1,000 cases annually; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Invitation for Bid for cafeteria food products (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF) with response due May 4, 2026, covering a broad range of staple food items delivered to multiple warehouse locations. School district contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm pricing for the contract term, weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school sites, and awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders.
