UNSPSC 50326703: Dried ever bearing strawberries

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

UNSPSC 50326703 Dried ever bearing strawberries is a Commodity code tracking products actually being procured in narrow food-service categories—primarily school nutrition programs and institutional food-service operations rather than retail or consumer distribution. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy dried strawberries as one line item within much broader fresh and processed produce procurement, typically as part of commodity food-service contracts that span hundreds of product lines. The issuing bodies are school districts and state-level entities: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Dried strawberries appear as a minor component within food nutrition procurement rather than as standalone line items; the recent opportunities show them bundled with fresh berries, other dried fruits, and broader commodity food supply.

Recent activity concentrates in the South—Georgia and Texas dominate the visible record—with secondary activity in Connecticut. Hancock County Schools Nutrition issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including strawberries (both fresh and implied dried varieties) with a due date of June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school sites across the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center posted IFB BNB053266 for a broad commodity-food contract also due June 26, 2026, via electronic submission through OpenGov Procurement Portal; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), covering approximately 382 line items with firm fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations. All school nutrition and institutional food contracts incorporate Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and compliance with USDA standards and grade requirements. This code shows steady but narrow activity—dried strawberries are typically one line item within multi-hundred-line institutional food procurements rather than standalone solicitations.
