UNSPSC 50326601: Dried honeywood saskatoon berries

The variety of saskatoon berries known as honeywood saskatoon berries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326601 Dried honeywood saskatoon berries, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of specialized dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal direct relevance to the nominal commodity. School districts and state corrections departments are the primary institutional buyers soliciting dried and fresh fruit under broader food-service codes, but the recent opportunities block shows little evidence of state or local entities specifically requesting dried honeywood saskatoon berries. Instead, recent activity centers on fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, melons, leafy greens) and general cafeteria food commodities including dried fruits such as prunes, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading, case packaging, delivery to institutional warehouses or nutrition centers, and firm pricing through annual contract terms.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's Department of Public Purchases solicited 115 commodity line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with a June 26, 2026 deadline; the State of Georgia released a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products (382 line items, multiple TDCJ warehouse locations) with a May 4, 2026 response date, and a separate IFB for dried prunes (1,400 boxes minimum, Corpus location) originally due February 20, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products appear consistently across school and state solicitations. The code itself shows little recent direct solicitation activity; vendors evaluating this commodity should monitor broader institutional food-service categories and dried-fruit line items within multi-category RFPs rather than expect standalone dried honeywood saskatoon berry opportunities.
