UNSPSC 50332705: Dried organic lingonberries

The variety of organic cranberries known as organic lingonberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332705 Dried organic lingonberries is a Commodity code that encompasses dried, organically certified berry products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities to supply cafeteria operations. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy specialty dried fruits as component ingredients or standalone items within broader food service contracts that also include fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state criminal justice agencies operating centralized nutrition and food service procurement functions. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all appear as active buyers, with school nutrition programs dominating the recent solicitation mix. These agencies source dried fruits alongside conventional fresh and processed food commodities to meet USDA nutrition standards and school lunch program requirements, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent) on processed items.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 contract year, though the posting does not explicitly reference dried lingonberries within the itemized fresh produce list. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 (due June 26, 2026) for 115 commodity line items supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center, spanning eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products with electronic submission through OpenGov. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) for approximately 382 food line items across five geographic warehouse distribution areas; and a separate Bid No. IW236532 (original due February 20, 2026) for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Corpus Christi. These school district and state agency procurements operate under firm fixed pricing for contract terms extending through June 2027 or later, with payment expected within 30–45 days and vendor compliance required for USDA grades, HACCP plans, commercial liability insurance, and state-specific certifications.
