UNSPSC 50332709: Dried organic searless cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50332709 Dried organic seedless cranberries (Commodity) appears in state and local school nutrition and correctional food service procurement, though recent solicitations show limited direct demand for this specific product. School districts and county corrections departments sourcing under this code are primarily acquiring broader dried fruit and nut categories alongside fresh produce and general food distribution services, rather than cranberries as a standalone line item. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department correctional facility solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) explicitly requested dried cranberries at 1,000 cases annually alongside dried raisins, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, representing one concrete recent opportunity. Most other active solicitations in the dried fruit and broader grocery space do not isolate cranberries as a distinct procurement focus; instead, school districts typically bundle dried fruits within master grocery or fresh produce contracts that emphasize fresh items, frozen entrees, proteins, and produce staples. The code sees activity across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California jurisdictions.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted RFPs and IFBs for food procurement in the January–June 2026 window. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department represent the correctional and county-level presence. All school district solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP certification, firm fixed pricing, and weekly delivery to multiple school sites. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia school districts, with additional activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, California, and Virginia. The Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) is the most directly relevant recent opportunity; response deadlines for active school district master grocery and fresh produce contracts have largely passed (Hancock County due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County due April 27, 2026; Rockwood due April 29, 2026). Pursuit should focus on specialized food-service distribution to correctional facilities and institutional food service operations where dried cranberries fit within broader dried fruit line-item procurement, or on becoming an approved sub-supplier to primary food distributors winning master contracts with school districts.
