UNSPSC 50337014: Dried organic hawthorn

The type of organic fruit known as organic hawthorn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50337014 Dried organic hawthorn is a Commodity code that names a single specialized dried fruit product, yet state and local procurement under this code in the recent opportunities block shows no activity for dried organic hawthorn itself. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover broad fresh produce, grocery staples, proteins, dairy, and dried fruits more generally—categories that span multiple UNSPSC families rather than a single commodity line. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that the Commodity code is either misapplied in these opportunities or that dried organic hawthorn does not command sufficient procurement volume to generate visible state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity in the dataset. School districts, county boards of education, state correctional agencies, and county sheriffs' departments are the predominant buyers in the opportunities block, but none of those solicitations explicitly request dried organic hawthorn.

School nutrition programs and institutional food service operations across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California—represented by IFBs and RFPs from Hancock County Schools, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff—do procure dried fruits as line items within larger fresh and dried produce contracts (for example, the Santa Clara ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts included dried raisins and cranberries). However, the code shows no standalone market for dried organic hawthorn among state and local buyers. Unless dried organic hawthorn is embedded as a secondary ingredient in a processed product or a bulk commodity purchased under a different UNSPSC family code, the Commodity code itself represents dormant procurement activity at the state and local level.
