UNSPSC 50323803: Dried dwarf huckleberries

The variety of huckleberries known as dwarf huckleberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323803 Dried dwarf huckleberries is a Commodity code that captures specialty dried fruit procurement by state and local food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is sparse and does not center on dwarf huckleberries. The code appears in a broader context of dried fruit and nut procurement for institutional food service—particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities—where it sits alongside more heavily trafficked categories such as fresh produce, staple groceries, and main-line food distribution. State and local buyers under this code family include school districts (ranging from single-district systems to large cooperative purchasing groups), county boards of education, county correctional facilities, and state departments managing food procurement for multiple jurisdictions. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, driven by USDA National School Lunch Act compliance requirements, Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic content in processed products, and nutritional standards limiting calories, added sugars, and artificial additives.

Recent solicitation activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California. The County of Santa Clara, California issued an Invitation to Bids in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts (dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix) to support the Sheriff's Department Correction Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility, with responses due February 5, 2026 and a five-year contract term with firm pricing for Year 1. Douglas County School System in Georgia posted an RFP in January 2026 for a main-line food service distributor with approximately $9 million annual expenditure across 32 schools. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) all posted fresh produce and general grocery solicitations between January and June 2026 with annual contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a cafeteria food products IFB in May 2026 due May 4, 2026, with approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce across six distribution points. No recent opportunities specifically name dwarf huckleberries; dried fruit procurement appears incidental to broader institutional food service contracts dominated by staple vegetables, fruits, proteins, and prepared items.
