UNSPSC 50302100: Bilberries

The type of fruit known as billberries

UNSPSC 50302100 Bilberries is a Class code that does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code center on fresh produce supply and food service operations — school meal programs, corrections facilities, senior services, child care programs, and park concessions — but bilberries themselves do not appear in any of the solicitations. The code appears to have been misapplied; the actual work solicited spans general fresh fruits and vegetables, produce processing and distribution, grocery items for institutional feeding, and food service management across multiple jurisdictions and buyer types.

The issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), state mental health facilities (Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, DeSoto County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Schools, Bartow County School System), cities and counties (City of San Antonio, Collier County, City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg), Head Start agencies, and a regional healthcare coalition. School districts represent the dominant buyer segment, with the Texas TDCJ issuing multiple fresh produce solicitations for correctional facility food warehouses. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Florida, with school nutrition programs driving the highest volume of recent procurements. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District issuing IFB RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated annual value $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin (approximately 5,900 servings weekly, contract September 1–November 30, 2026 with up to two three-month extensions); DeSoto County School District issuing sealed bids for fresh produce distribution across 41 school sites with bi-annual cost-plus-fee pricing and a 97% service level requirement (bids due June 22, 2026); Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple RFQs for fresh fruit and vegetables to the Snyder Food Warehouse (IW267420, due October 14, 2026) and Wynne Food Warehouse in Huntsville (IW267411, due October 14, 2026); and Collier County issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession facilities (ITN 258360, proposals due March 6, 2025, three-year term with two one-year renewals, local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points). The code itself does not align with current market activity and should not be relied upon for targeting fresh produce opportunities.
