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 encompasses dried fruit products procured by state and local jurisdictions for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying dried cranberries alongside other dried fruits, nuts, and fresh produce as components of broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The code appears in school district RFPs and IFBs that bundle dried fruits with fresh produce, eggs, and other grocery items to supply cafeteria operations; it also appears in correctional-facility procurement where dried cranberries are specified alongside raisins, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans as shelf-stable fruit components for inmate nutrition services.

School districts dominate recent activity under and around this code, with Georgia school systems (Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) and Virginia's Fairfax County Public Schools all issuing food-supply RFPs and IFBs in the first half of 2026. Missouri's Rockwood School District and Connecticut's City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases also solicited comprehensive grocery contracts encompassing dried fruits. State-level procurement appears in Georgia's general food-supplies solicitation and Texas TDCJ's cafeteria food-products procurement. The County of Santa Clara, California, issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts specifically for its detention facility in January 2026, requiring 1,000 cases of dried cranberries annually on an all-or-none basis alongside raisins, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans, with a five-year contract term and a local business preference. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in California, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Most school district opportunities close between late April and late June 2026, driven by annual fixed-price contracting cycles aligned to fiscal-year transitions on July 1.
