UNSPSC 50327104: Dried viking chokeberries

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

UNSPSC 50327104 Dried viking chokeberries is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitation activity covers fresh produce and processed food commodities supplied to school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. The recent opportunities show school districts and state corrections agencies purchasing broad commodity baskets that include fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items rather than dried chokeberries specifically. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases sought 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued solicitations for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and beverages. These solicitations consistently impose Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), USDA grade standards, HACCP plans or equivalent food-safety compliance, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, FOB destination delivery, and comprehensive vendor insurance. Issuing bodies include school districts, municipal boards of education, state corrections agencies, and state-level procurement offices on behalf of institutional food service operations.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) and the State of Georgia (solicitation posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026) represent recent Georgia activity. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (electronic IFB posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) shows Connecticut engagement. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of TDCJ, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products with response due May 4, 2026, and TDCJ separately solicited dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) for Corpus Christi distribution. Contract terms typically run one to three years with options to renew, delivery occurs weekly or as-needed to multiple institutional sites, and payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days. The code shows no recent opportunities explicitly for dried chokeberries; the recent solicitations tag institutional food commodity procurement broadly under this code, indicating a mismatch between the nominal code name and actual buying activity.
