UNSPSC 50327033: Dried silverberries

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

UNSPSC 50327033 Dried silverberries, a Commodity code, encompasses single-ingredient dried fruit products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts and correctional facilities, for use in student nutrition programs and inmate meal services. The code shows limited recent activity directly tied to dried silverberries; however, the recent state and local opportunities block contains one solicitation explicitly naming dried fruits as a line item within a broader procurement, and several school nutrition solicitations that encompass dried fruit components within larger produce and food supply contracts. The dominant use case is K–12 school nutrition, where dried fruits appear as snack items, breakfast components, and meal ingredients across multi-category food service contracts. Correctional facilities represent a secondary but consistent market for dried fruits and nuts, particularly for inmate meal programming.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all procuring food supplies that include dried fruit components. Correctional facilities also solicit regularly—the County of Santa Clara, California issued an Invitation to Bids (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) on January 28, 2026, explicitly for dried fruits and nuts, including dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix blend, with response due February 5, 2026. The Santa Clara procurement required vendors to supply five line items on an all-or-none basis, with dried raisins at 5,880 cases annually and dried cranberries at 1,000 cases annually, serving the Elmwood Correctional Facility. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts), California (County of Santa Clara), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Missouri (Rockwood), with school district RFPs and IFBs typically spanning July 1 contract start dates and response deadlines in March through June timeframes.
