UNSPSC 50327015: Dried honeyberries

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

UNSPSC 50327015 Dried honeyberries (Commodity) describes a narrow product category — whole or processed dried honeyberries — that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through school district nutrition programs and correctional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts bundling dried honeyberries with broader produce, beverage, and grocery contracts rather than issuing single-item RFPs dedicated to this commodity. The code sees minimal standalone procurement activity; when dried fruits appear in state and local RFPs, they are typically grouped with nuts, fresh produce, or consolidated food-service supply contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items with dried honeyberries as a minor component (one or two line items among 72–900+ items).

School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California dominate recent activity, with nutrition programs in Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) all issuing broad food procurement RFPs and IFBs in the first half of 2026. Santa Clara County's correctional food services also solicited dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) on an all-or-none basis requiring 1,000–5,880 cases annually of raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans. The code shows no standalone honeyberry procurement; instead, it sits within larger school nutrition master grocery and produce contracts where evaluation favors lowest-cost responsive bids meeting Buy American provisions, nutritional standards, and delivery schedules to multiple school sites. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and the Southeast, followed by California, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete in consolidated food-service RFPs where dried honeyberries represent a single line item within contracts worth millions annually, with firm pricing for 12-month terms and rigid compliance with USDA nutrition, food safety, and domestic-content requirements.
