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 that reflects state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent activity under this code is dominated by school nutrition programs and correctional facilities purchasing fresh and processed produce broadly rather than dried cranberries specifically. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia and Texas), and specialized procurement divisions. Work being solicited spans fresh produce contracts covering apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens—with occasional line items for dried fruits including prunes—rather than dried mountain cranberries as a standalone line item. School districts and state departments of corrections are the primary repeat buyers, with contracts typically running one full fiscal year (July through June for schools, through August for corrections facilities), firm pricing for the contract duration, and delivery to multiple institutional locations with strict USDA compliance, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items, and full traceability documentation.

Recent opportunities originate in Georgia (Hancock County Schools IFB due June 26, 2026, and Georgia state procurement IFB due June 22, 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities IFB due June 26, 2026), and Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB with extended due date of May 4, 2026, and a prior TDCJ dried prunes IFB with February 20, 2026 close). The Hancock County solicitation seeks over 200 fresh produce line items across multiple varieties with three-location delivery, while Bridgeport's 115-line-item commodity bid covers eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products with MBE/CBE considerations under local ordinance. The TDCJ solicitation encompasses approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce with firm fixed pricing and delivery to six Texas warehouse locations. A prior TDCJ dried prunes bid (IW236532) called for U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60-70 count size with minimum 1,400-box orders for one delivery area, demonstrating that state corrections facilities do procure dried fruit products, though recent activity shows limited direct demand for dried cranberries as a named commodity line.
