UNSPSC 50327013: Dried hackberries

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

UNSPSC 50327013 Dried hackberries (Commodity) covers dried fruit products sourced for institutional food service, though state and local solicitations under this code show minimal recent activity tied directly to the commodity itself. The recent opportunities posted under this code predominantly feature fresh produce and broader food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, with dried hackberries appearing only incidentally within larger multi-item food procurement scopes. School districts and state corrections departments represent the primary issuing bodies, driven by mandatory nutritional service requirements and standardized procurement processes. Contracts emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, USDA grade certification, and vendor insurance and compliance documentation. Typical performance requirements include HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and three-year contract terms with optional renewals at the procuring agency's discretion.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across 200-plus line items (due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requesting bids for 115 commodities line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026, via OpenGov portal); the State of Georgia issuing PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food line items across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026). A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) requested dried prunes specifically but closed in February 2026. Dried hackberries as a stand-alone commodity show limited pursuit under this code; opportunities tend to bundle such items within broader food categories rather than solicit them individually.
