UNSPSC 50337104 Dried organic viking chokeberries is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity reflects fresh and processed produce sourcing for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and state agency dining facilities. The code's nominal name does not align with the actual work being solicited; recent opportunities posted under this code span broad fresh produce categories (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes) as well as processed food commodities for correctional facilities and school cafeterias. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia and Texas departments), and specialized procurement divisions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition operations dominate the recent activity, with IFB structures typical for food service sourcing.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, soliciting over 200 fresh produce line items for delivery to three school locations across the 2026–27 school year under Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic content for processed items). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued RFB for 115 line items of commodities including produce, proteins, and dairy for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and delivery through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia and Texas TDCJ also posted related food and kitchen products IFBs in May and June 2026. All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, HACCP or equivalent food safety protocols, and firm-fixed pricing for the contract term. Fuel surcharges and cost escalation clauses are limited or prohibited.
