UNSPSC 50322707: Dried mountain cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50322707 Dried mountain cranberries is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy dried cranberries primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations show this code tagged on school lunch and detention center procurement, though the actual dried cranberry line items represent a small subset of much larger fresh and processed grocery contracts. The sourcing bodies span school districts, county boards of education, state departments of criminal justice, and county sheriff departments across multiple states. School nutrition contracts typically bundle dried cranberries within broader fruit and produce categories serving K-12 meal programs, while detention facility procurements isolate dried fruits as specialized commissary and meal-service items. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county detention facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department Corrections).

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools via the GEC Buying Cooperative), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Texas (TDCJ across five distribution areas), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and California (Santa Clara County). The most concrete dried-fruit opportunity is Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026), which specifically names dried cranberries as one of five dried-fruit line items (1,000 cases annually of dried cranberries with zero added sugars, 110–125 calories per serving) for supply to Elmwood Correctional Facility, alongside raisins, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none, five-year fixed-price contract with optional annual increases capped at a bidder-specified rate. School nutrition opportunities such as Hancock County Schools IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery solicitation (due April 29, 2026) encompass over 400–900 line items each but do not isolate dried cranberries in available summaries, suggesting they are embedded within fresh-produce or specialty-item categories rather than separately bid.
