UNSPSC 50327008: Dried cloudberries

The type of fruit known as cloudberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327008 Dried cloudberries is a Commodity code nominally designating dehydrated cloudberry products, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows little purchasing under this specific code. School districts and correctional agencies are sourcing fresh and frozen produce, dried fruits like prunes, and mixed food commodities through formal sealed-bid and IFB processes, yet dried cloudberries do not appear in any of the recent posted opportunities. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all issued notices for produce and food products during the May–June 2026 window, but the line-item scopes name conventional items (apples, berries, carrots, potatoes, citrus, prunes) without reference to cloudberries, dried or fresh. The code itself reflects an exotic specialty product that does not align with typical state and local food procurement patterns, which center on high-volume staples for school nutrition, corrections feeding, and institutional foodservice.

No recent state and local opportunities explicitly reference dried cloudberries. The visible activity under related food commodity codes suggests that procurement demand in the state and local space remains concentrated on domestically available or commodity-grade produce, proteins, and preserved foods that meet USDA grade standards and Buy American requirements. School districts in Georgia and Connecticut, Georgia state agencies, and the Texas corrections system are the active buyers in the June 2026 cycle, but their RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs target conventional items only. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether state and local agencies are requesting dried cloudberries through channels outside the posted-notice stream or whether the code is underutilized relative to broader commodity procurement activity.
