UNSPSC 50322710: Dried stevens cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50322710 Dried stevens cranberries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement that sees minimal direct solicitation despite the code's specificity; state and local food service operations procure dried cranberries as a component within broader dried fruit and nut buys, fresh produce aggregations, or master grocery contracts rather than as standalone line items. School districts dominate the buyer base—Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted nutrition solicitations in recent months—alongside county correction facilities such as Santa Clara County's Elmwood Correctional Facility. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice dried prunes procurement (Bid No. IW236532, closed February 20, 2026) and a Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts ITB (ITBPRC-FY260617, closed February 5, 2026) illustrate how whole or pitted dried fruits enter state and local food service contracting, though neither specifically called for cranberries by name.

Recent opportunities show dried cranberries embedded within larger commodity buys rather than as discrete procurements. The most relevant solicitation tying directly to dried fruit procurement is Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply its detention facility, which itemized dried cranberries at 1,000 cases annually alongside raisins, tropical fruit mixes, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts and the DCSS regional cooperative) and California (Santa Clara), with secondary activity in Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia. Most school-level food procurements use descriptive categories ("dried fruits," "snacks," "prepared foods") rather than SKU-level codes, making UNSPSC 50322710 a low-visibility classification in practice; successful pursuit requires tracking broader RFPs under parent codes for fresh produce and master grocery contracts where dried cranberries appear as line items, then bidding competitively on the applicable subset rather than awaiting sole-source dried-cranberry RFQs.
