UNSPSC 50324702: Dried white mulberries

The variety of mulberries known as white mulberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324702 Dried white mulberries, a Commodity code, encompasses dried berry products sourced by state and local educational and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show that school nutrition programs and state correctional facilities procure dried fruits as commodity staples within broader fresh and processed produce supply contracts, though the specific product category rarely appears as a standalone line item. State and local buyers treat dried mulberries as part of composite food-supply categories rather than specialties, folding them into general commodities purchasing alongside other dried fruits, proteins, and pantry staples. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state correctional departments acting as end-use procurement entities, with purchasing authority handled through county or state nutrition services divisions and correctional contracting offices.

Activity under this code concentrates in the South and Southwest, anchored by Texas and Georgia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple food-commodity bids spanning prunes, dried fruits, and cafeteria staples (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026; Bid No. IW236532 for prunes, originally due February 20, 2026), while the State of Georgia issued a broad food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). School districts in Georgia and Connecticut are the repeat institutional buyers; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce (SY27, due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). All solicitations enforce the Buy American provision under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products. Most bids use IFB format with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, and contract periods running through mid-2027.
