UNSPSC 50326701: Dried chandler strawberries

The variety of strawberries known as chandler strawberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326701 Dried chandler strawberries is a Commodity code reflecting the procurement of dried strawberry products for institutional nutrition and food-service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and correctional facilities purchasing dried fruit as a component of larger produce or food commodity aggregations. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent the dominant recent buyers; both source dried fruit products as line items within broader fresh and processed produce contracts rather than as standalone specialty items. The work involves supplying dried strawberries meeting USDA grade specifications, with delivery to multiple institutional locations under fixed-price firm contracts running annual terms. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products apply across most school-based procurements.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce including strawberry line items for the 2026–27 school year across three delivery sites. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 on April 23, 2026, for whole pitted dried prunes (a related dried-fruit commodity) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes to a Corpus location, though that opportunity closed February 20, 2026. Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit products on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, encompassing dried fruit components. Most of these opportunities require vendors to carry commercial general liability insurance, provide USDA compliance documentation, and accept firm pricing for the full contract term with no fuel surcharges permitted.
