UNSPSC 50301901: Alpine bearberries

The variety of bearberries known as alpine bearberries

UNSPSC 50301901 Alpine bearberries is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source identifies 27 recent state and local opportunities tagged across food-service procurement categories, but none target alpine bearberries specifically. Recent solicitations instead reflect broad institutional food purchasing for school nutrition programs, senior centers, child care facilities, and correctional institutions—covering fresh produce, groceries, dried fruits and nuts, eggs, and beverages. The single opportunity closest to specialty berries is Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), but that procurement specifies sourcing within Wisconsin and does not isolate alpine bearberries as a line item. Similarly, the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) covers approximately 72 produce line items including "berries" generically—strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries—but does not name alpine bearberries.

The issuing bodies across the dataset are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Glynn County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Dougherty County, Hillsborough County, Meriden Public Schools, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Central Point School District) and municipal agencies (City of Edinburg, City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio, County of Santa Clara). Geographic concentration appears in Georgia (15+ opportunities), Texas (4), Florida (1), Connecticut (1), Oregon (1), Wisconsin (1), and California (1). The code shows no evidence of active pursuit by produce distributors or specialty berry suppliers in current state and local procurement. To assess viability under this code, confirm whether state and local nutrition programs have contracted alpine bearberries historically or whether this UNSPSC code assignment reflects a data-classification anomaly rather than actual procurement demand.
