UNSPSC 50327031: Dried rowanberries

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

UNSPSC 50327031 Dried rowanberries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried fruits for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity shows limited direct demand for this specific product. The code's nominal scope encompasses preserved berry products used in school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public-sector food operations; however, the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly naming dried rowanberries. The issuing bodies pursuing activity under related dried-fruit and produce codes include school districts across multiple states (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County, California), and state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, typically procuring fresh produce, grocery staples, and occasionally specialty dried fruits as components of broader nutrition contracts rather than as standalone line items.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary presence in California, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and Connecticut. The only solicitation with direct relevance to dried fruits is the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (Invitation to Bids for Dried Fruits and Nuts, due February 5, 2026), which requested dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for the Elmwood Correctional Facility on an all-or-none basis with a five-year term and firm pricing for Year 1. Most other recent opportunities—including Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's food-supply RFP (due February 18, 2026)—source fresh or frozen produce rather than dried specialty fruits. Dried rowanberries specifically do not appear in any posted solicitation, suggesting the code remains inactive or rarely tagged in state and local procurement workflows at present.
