UNSPSC 50327101: Dried autumn magic chokeberries

The variety of chokeberries known as autumn magic chokeberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327101 Dried autumn magic chokeberries is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products procured primarily by school districts and state correctional agencies for institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities show that state and local governments use this code to solicit dried fruits and related commodity items as components of cafeteria food programs, though the actual solicitations under the code span much broader product categories — including fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, and other staple food items — rather than chokeberries specifically. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with activity from Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; state-level procurement also appears through the Georgia Department of Education and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet Buy American requirements (typically 51 percent domestic content for processed items), maintain HACCP plans and food safety certifications, provide USDA compliance documentation, and carry commercial general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million depending on the buyer.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools Nutrition issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a sealed-bid response due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with delivery to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted an electronic IFB on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items of commodities including proteins, dairy, and produce for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance and delivery through the TITAN School Solutions ordering system. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2 from an April 21 deadline) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas across Texas, with awards made per line item on best-value basis. A separate TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, Corpus Location delivery area) closed February 20, 2026, but post-dates decision relevance for current pursuit. Contract periods typically run through June 30, 2027, with firm fixed pricing and 30-day payment terms standard across buyers.
