UNSPSC 50426814: Dried caperberries

The type of vegetable known as caperberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426814 Dried caperberries, a Commodity code, does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains fourteen recent opportunities spanning food service procurement across school districts, state correctional facilities, and municipal nutrition programs—none of which specifically solicits dried caperberries. The code's nominal scope (specialty pickled or preserved vegetable products) finds no reflection in the actual buying behavior captured in the recent solicitations, which focus instead on mainstream staple groceries, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees for institutional food service.

State and local procurement under codes that bracket food service—fresh produce, proteins, canned goods, and general grocery supplies—shows sustained activity across school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; State of Illinois; State of Georgia). These jurisdictions award contracts on rolling annual cycles, typically July 1 through June 30, with response windows two to four weeks ahead of award dates. The procurement pattern shows no standout concentration in any single state or regional buyer; activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri. The opportunity pool splits between large school district master grocery contracts (Fairfax County's multi-school, multi-kitchen delivery; Douglas County's $9 million annual food distribution RFP) and narrower category-specific buys (fresh produce ITBs, dried-bean procurements for corrections facilities, and specialty ingredient quotes for child nutrition programs). Caperberries and similar specialty preserved vegetables fall outside this pattern and show no current market signal under this code.
