UNSPSC 50332014: Dried organic thornless hull blackberries

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

UNSPSC 50332014 Dried organic thornless hull blackberries, a Commodity code, covers dried berry products that state and local school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and other public food-service operations procure as components of larger fresh and processed produce contracts. Recent state and local solicitations show the code embedded within much broader food-service and nutrition commodity buys — school districts, state correctional departments, and municipal boards of education are sourcing dried blackberries alongside fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, and grains as part of annual nutrition supply contracts. Issuing bodies include county school boards (such as Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments of criminal justice (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs appear to be the primary driver of activity under this code, with dried berry items typically appearing as line items within cafeteria supply RFQs and IFBs that specify case sizes, unit counts, and delivery schedules for the academic or fiscal year.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and South, with visible solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County Schools RFP posted June 10, 2026, response due June 26, 2026; State of Georgia IFB posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport IFB posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026), and Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026, with prior addenda extending the response date). Hancock County Schools' Nutrition Fresh Produce solicitation (IFB #SN002-2027) explicitly lists blackberries among 200-plus fresh and processed produce line items for school-year delivery to three school locations, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and firm pricing for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period. The Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center procurement (BNB053266) similarly encompasses fruit and vegetable products alongside broader commodity categories with Net 45 payment terms and contract through June 30, 2027. All school nutrition solicitations require HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and compliance with Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
