UNSPSC 50334700: Dried organic mulberries

Any of a genus (morus of the family moraceae, the mulberry family) of trees with an edible usually purple multiple fruit that is an aggregate of juicy one-seeded drupes that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334700 Dried organic mulberries, a Class code, encompasses fresh and processed produce procurement for school nutrition and correctional-facility food service operations. State and local governments buy fresh produce—apples, berries, vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items—under this code, alongside dried fruits including prunes and other shelf-stable commodity items. The issuing bodies are school districts (independent and county), state departments of criminal justice and education, and municipal boards of education. School nutrition programs are the dominant buyer segment, with contracts spanning full academic years (July through June) and requiring delivery to multiple school sites. Correctional facilities represent a secondary but significant segment. All solicitations enforce the Buy American Provision, requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products, and demand HACCP plans, USDA compliance, and comprehensive vendor certifications including E-Verify authorization and food safety documentation. Payment terms typically run 30 to 45 days net.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with Georgia school districts (Hancock County Schools) and the State of Georgia issuing IFBs for fresh produce and general food supplies in June 2026, and Texas issuing IFBs for cafeteria food products through the Department of Criminal Justice and prunes via its Contracts and Procurement Department between February and May 2026. Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) posted a commodities IFB for school board nutrition supplies on June 2, 2026, with electronic responses due June 26, 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, an IFB posted June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh produce for school delivery; the City of Bridgeport Commodities IFB (BNB053266), posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, spanning 115 line items for school board nutrition; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products IFB (304T26300CF), posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items for TDCJ warehouse distribution across five geographic areas.
