UNSPSC 50332101: Dried organic bog bilberries

The variety of organic billberries known as organic bog bilberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332101 Dried organic bog bilberries (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that shows minimal recent procurement activity from state and local governments. The two opportunities actually posted under this code do not involve dried bog bilberries at all; instead, the recent solicitations tag fresh produce and prepared food commodity buys under the code despite the mismatch with the code's nominal scope. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with responses due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 for 115 line items of food commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026. Neither solicitation names dried bog bilberries as a line item or specification. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition, suggesting either infrequent procurement of this specific product or systematic misalignment between state and local procurement tagging and the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The geographic spread of recent postings spans Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, and the State of Georgia Department of Corrections, with the most identifiable activity concentrated in school nutrition procurement and institutional food service. School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state corrections departments. The three Georgia and Connecticut opportunities carry Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, and school-district buys impose HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and debarment verification on all vendors. State and local governments under this code tier their awards to lowest responsive and responsible bidders, often retaining the right to split awards among multiple vendors. Representatives of this code's recent activity show firm, fixed pricing for full contract terms with 30-day payment windows post-delivery and backup inventory or 24-hour emergency-delivery requirements common in school nutrition and corrections food service contexts. Dried bog bilberries as a discrete procurement line item do not appear in any of the four posted opportunities, making evaluation of current market demand for this product category difficult from recent state and local posting data alone.
