UNSPSC 50322709: Dried searless cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50322709 Dried seamless cranberries is a Commodity code that encompasses processed dried cranberry products supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. State and local governments procuring under this code buy dried cranberries as shelf-stable ingredients for meal preparation, snacks, and food components within larger dried-fruit and commodity procurement contracts. The solicitations show school districts as the dominant issuing bodies, supplemented by county corrections facilities, representing consistent demand across education and public safety nutrition operations. Scope spans bulk dried cranberries in cases suitable for institutional food service, often specified alongside complementary dried fruits, nuts, and fresh produce as line items within broader food-supply contracts.

School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California dominate recent activity. The County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (issued January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) explicitly solicited dried cranberries at 1,000 cases annually as one of five dried-fruit line items for Elmwood Correctional Facility, bidding on an all-or-none basis with firm pricing for Year 1 and optional annual increases capped at bidder-specified percentages through a five-year term. School nutrition procurements from Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 million for Area One), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (due April 29, 2026, over 900 line items), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB, due April 29, 2026) all included dried cranberries as component items within broader fresh-produce and grocery solicitations requiring Buy American compliance, firm fixed pricing for contract periods ranging from one to four years, and weekly or regular delivery to multiple school sites. Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) solicited fresh produce but does not explicitly reference dried cranberries in available summary detail. No specific budget allocations to dried cranberries alone appear in recent notices; they typically represent single line items within multi-million-dollar food-service contracts.
