UNSPSC 50327009: Dried dewberries

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

UNSPSC 50327009 Dried dewberries, a Commodity code, covers dried berry products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state correctional facilities buying dried and fresh berries as components of larger fresh-produce and food-commodity contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code's scope extends to dried berry products meeting USDA grade requirements and specified packaging standards for bulk institutional delivery.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code, including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center in Connecticut, alongside state-level buyers such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 response deadline for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including blackberry, raspberry, and strawberry products alongside apples, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits, with delivery to three school locations and firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities by IFB due June 26, 2026 for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, covering 115 line items of produce and protein products requiring destination freight prepaid on pallets and compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products). The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with responses due May 4, 2026, spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas with FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points.
