UNSPSC 50331903: Dried organic common bearberries

The variety of organic bearberries known as organic common bearberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50331903 Dried organic common bearberries is a Commodity code that theoretically covers specialized dried berry products, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's scope. School districts and state agencies soliciting fresh produce and cafeteria food products have posted multiple opportunities in the past four months, yet none specifically target dried organic bearberries or other dried berries in the commodity volumes typical of institutional food procurement. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (posted June 10, 2026, response due June 26, 2026) includes over 200 line items spanning apples, berries including blackberry, pineberry, raspberry, and strawberry (fresh, not dried), cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty items, but does not reference dried bearberries. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a broader commodities solicitation (posted June 2, 2026, response due June 26, 2026) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center across 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products, again with no specific mention of dried organic bearberries. Similarly, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (issued May 4, 2026, extended response due May 4, 2026) encompasses approximately 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits but does not identify dried bearberries as a requested item.

The geographic spread of food and beverage solicitations centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with additional activity from the State of Georgia (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026). However, the code shows little recent relevant activity; institutional buyers are sourcing fresh berries and fresh produce rather than specialized dried organic berries. Vendors pursuing this code should expect limited state and local demand and should monitor school district and correctional facility nutrition procurement for any expansion into specialty dried fruit categories, though current opportunities do not signal such movement.
