UNSPSC 50302003: Boysenberries

A large bramble fruit with a raspberry flavor; the trailing hybrid bramble yielding this fruit and developed by crossing several blackberries and raspberries

UNSPSC 50302003 Boysenberries is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying fresh produce and related food service items for child nutrition, school meal, and correctional facility programs — not boysenberries specifically. The recent opportunities show that school districts, city child nutrition programs, and county corrections departments tag produce-family codes broadly when sourcing mixed fresh fruit and vegetable supplies, with boysenberries appearing as one item among dozens of produce line items in comprehensive institutional food service bids. The issuing bodies are overwhelmingly K–12 school districts (elementary, middle, and high school systems), followed by school nutrition cooperatives serving multiple districts, child care and early childhood agencies, and municipal food service operations. Several Georgia school districts appear repeatedly: Bulloch County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, and Liberty County Board of Education all posted fresh produce RFPs or IFBs in recent months. Other recurring jurisdictions include Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Austin ISD (Texas), and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30+ Georgia districts.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Utah, and Florida, with scattered activity in Oregon, California, and Mississippi. Most recent opportunities posted between mid-February and mid-July 2026, with response dates typically 3–8 weeks out. Representative procurements include the City of Edinburg, Texas, RFP 2026-017 (CACFP meal program for 400 children, due August 4, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (petite bananas only, due July 29, 2026, estimated $78,000 annual value), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 (fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts via two geographic areas, proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million total spend). School lunch contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually and permit multiple-year renewals; pricing is usually firm for 12 months or indexed to USDA market reports with escalation caps. Buy American provisions (requiring minimum 51% domestic content) appear in most K–12 and federal child nutrition program opportunities.
