UNSPSC 50337103: Dried organic nero chokeberries

The variety of organic chokeberries known as organic nero chokeberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50337103 Dried organic nero chokeberries (Commodity) appears in state and local solicitations primarily as part of broader fresh produce and food commodities procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not isolate dried nero chokeberries as a line item; instead, they reflect school districts and state agencies buying fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, and miscellaneous food staples in bulk for cafeteria and food service operations. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB #SN002-2027 itemizes over 200 fresh produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits, but does not explicitly name dried nero chokeberries. Similarly, the City of Bridgeport nutrition center procurement covers eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under a single commodities contract; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food procurement spans proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments across 382 line items. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), city purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), and state criminal justice systems. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear consistently across these solicitations.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Sparta, Georgia posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026, response deadline for fresh produce delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, for food supplies and kitchen products (detailed scope in attached documentation). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, released IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with a May 4, 2026, response deadline (extended from April 21, 2026, via Addendum No. 2). A separate TDCJ procurement (IW236532) for whole, pitted, dried prunes posted April 23, 2026, with a February 20, 2026, bid opening—the only solicitation directly naming a specific dried fruit product, though not nero chokeberries. The code shows little specific recent activity for dried nero chokeberries as a standalone commodity in state and local procurement.
