UNSPSC 50336600: Dried organic saskatoon berries

The type of organic fruit known as organic saskatoon berries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336600 Dried organic saskatoon berries is a Class code that nominally names a single commodity, but recent state and local solicitations rarely procure saskatoon berries by name. Instead, the code appears in a mix of broader produce and grocery procurements that span dozens or hundreds of line items per bid. 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) — alongside correctional facilities, primarily the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). A few municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Santa Clara County, California) and state departments (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ) round out the field. School nutrition contracts dominate the recent activity, with multi-hundred-line-item RFQs and IFBs covering fresh produce, frozen vegetables, dairy, proteins, grains, and specialty items delivered weekly to multiple school sites under Buy American requirements and firm fixed pricing for 12-month terms running July 1 through June 30.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts and counties), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria and specialty dried-fruit procurements), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, sealed bids due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 produce line items with delivery to three schools; Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (ITBPRC-FY260617, due February 5, 2026) for a five-year detention-facility contract; and Douglas County School System's RFP for main-line food supply and distribution (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) to supply 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual spend of $9 million. TDCJ has issued multiple food solicitations including Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) and Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (due February 20, 2026, amended via Amendment No. 1). Most solicitations require firm pricing for the full contract period, USDA and FDA compliance including HACCP plans and food-safety certifications, and commercial general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. No recent opportunities explicitly name saskatoon berries; this code's activity is absorbed within larger produce and grocery procurement vehicles.
