UNSPSC 50332700: Dried organic cranberries

The red acid berry produced by some plants (as vaccinium oxycoccos and v. Acrocarpon) of the heath family that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332700 Dried organic cranberries is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity associated with it. The most recent solicitations posted under this code request bids for fresh produce, mixed food commodities, and cafeteria staples — including fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy products, grains, and related kitchen supplies — rather than dried cranberries specifically. The scope of work reflects what school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities actually buy: bulk fresh and processed foods for nutrition programs and institutional feeding operations, with emphasis on compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed goods), USDA grade certification, HACCP plans where required, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on firm-fixed pricing for annual or multi-year contract terms.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia procurement, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and correctional facilities (TDCJ). Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas: Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Bridgeport's IFB for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce with electronic submission by June 26, 2026; TDCJ's IFB for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic areas with response deadline May 4, 2026; and TDCJ's earlier bid for whole pitted dried prunes (60-70 count, U.S. Grade B) with a 1,400-box minimum order, due February 20, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity specifically tied to dried cranberries; opportunities are dominated by institutional fresh-food and mixed-commodity procurement rather than specialty dried-fruit products.
