UNSPSC 50327100: Dried chokeberries

The type of fruit known as chokeberry that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327100 Dried chokeberries is a Class code that encompasses dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring dried fruits—including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, and mixed dried fruits—as components of broader food procurement contracts for K-12 school meals, institutional cafeteria operations, and detention facility food services. The code sees activity primarily from school districts and state/county correctional departments, though the recent opportunities block contains no specific solicitations for chokeberries themselves. The sourcing is fragmented across individual school districts and regional cooperatives; no repeat buyer pattern emerges from the opportunities shown.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia and California based on recent opportunities. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) to supply correctional food services, with bids due February 5, 2026. Georgia school districts, including Douglas County Schools and Liberty County Schools, have issued RFPs and IFBs for annual food procurement that encompass dried and fresh produce categories as line items within broader food supply contracts due in late February through April 2026. Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement in May 2026 (IFB 304T-26-300CF) includes dried fruits within an estimated 382-line-item cafeteria food product scope. No opportunities specifically name chokeberries or reference the code directly; the code shows limited direct alignment with the recent solicitation activity captured in the block.
