UNSPSC 50332002: Dried organic black satin blackberries

The variety of organic blackberries known as organic black satin blackberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332002 Dried organic black satin blackberries is a Commodity code that encompasses dried berry products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies to supply cafeteria and nutrition operations. Recent state and local opportunities show that this code captures fresh and processed produce items distributed through school nutrition and institutional food-service contracts, though the specific dried blackberry line item appears infrequently in individual solicitations. School districts and state correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies, procuring dried and fresh berries as part of broader food-service commodity bundles that include proteins, grains, vegetables, and specialty produce. The scope of work ranges from single-commodity procurements (such as prunes or blackberries) to comprehensive fresh-produce and prepared-food contracts for multiple cafeteria locations. Contracts typically run twelve to twenty-four months with firm pricing, include Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items, mandate HACCP plans and USDA compliance certification, and reserve award discretion to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best-value criteria.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including blackberries, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, for delivery to three school locations under a July 2026–June 2027 contract term. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), on behalf of the Texas Comptroller, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including fruits and vegetables across five geographic TDCJ warehouse distribution areas, with firm pricing and delivery to multiple FOB Destination points. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited 115 commodity line items on June 2, 2026, for its Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. TDCJ also issued a standalone bid (IW236532) for dried prunes in February 2026 at its Corpus location, signaling that whole-dried fruit items are procured as discrete line items within larger food-service awards. School nutrition contracts dominate the recent activity, with institutional and correctional food-service procurement providing secondary volume.
