UNSPSC 50332009: Dried organic marionberries

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

UNSPSC 50332009 Dried organic marionberries is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed berry products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and county food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and detention facilities sourcing berries as components of broader fresh produce and food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code sits within larger food procurement families that state and local buyers use to establish annual food supply agreements. The issuing bodies soliciting under related dried fruit and fresh produce codes span school districts of varying sizes (from mid-sized county systems like Douglas County to large districts like Fairfax County Public Schools), state departments, county sheriffs' offices, and state criminal justice systems. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts purchasing berries as part of comprehensive nutrition-centered food supply and fresh produce contracts that emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA grade standards, and nutritional specifications aligned with the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs.

Geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with multiple school districts and county systems posting solicitations between February and June 2026 (Liberty County Board of Education IFB for Food, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for Fresh Produce, Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for Fresh Produce and Eggs, and Hancock County Schools IFB for Fresh Produce all posted in early 2026), alongside activity in Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services), Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement for cafeteria food products and prunes), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for school nutrition commodities), and California (County of Santa Clara ITB for Dried Fruits and Nuts at a correctional facility). The Santa Clara County procurement for dried cranberries, raisins, and tropical fruit mix (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) and the Texas TDCJ procurement for whole pitted dried prunes (IW236532, amended due February 20, 2026) represent the most directly relevant recent opportunities for dried fruit supply, though neither specifically names marionberries. School nutrition contracts typically call for firm fixed pricing over 12-month periods, Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic content for processed items, HACCP and food safety certification, and delivery to multiple school sites with weekly or more frequent service requirements.
