The recent solicitations under this code show school districts, state departments, and criminal justice agencies sourcing dried and processed fruit items—including prunes, berries, and other dried produce—as components of larger food commodity procurements serving cafeteria operations, nutrition centers, and correctional facilities. School districts represent the dominant issuing body, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) both soliciting fresh and processed produce for the 2026–27 school year; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also appears as a repeat buyer, procuring food commodities including dried fruits for multiple institutional locations across the state.
