UNSPSC 50302100: Bilberries

The type of fruit known as billberries

UNSPSC 50302100 Bilberries, a Class code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the recent opportunities data. The source records show state and local governments soliciting fresh produce broadly—including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, and other staple items for school nutrition and child care programs—not bilberries specifically. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal purchasing offices across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, and California have posted bids and RFPs for general produce distribution, produce-and-egg packages, and specialty fresh fruit and vegetable programs. The CACFP meal program, school lunch and breakfast programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) dominate the scope. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, McAllen ISD in Texas, Austin ISD, Salt Lake City School District, Central Point School District in Oregon), county boards of education (Muscogee, Bryan, Bulloch, Liberty, Glynn, Hancock, Dougherty, Early, Henry, DeSoto), cities (Bridgeport, Edinburg, San Antonio), Head Start programs, cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 40 Georgia districts; Douglas County School System for multiple districts), and correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction). Cost-plus-fixed-fee models, firm fixed-price structures with escalator clauses tied to USDA market indices, and line-item competitive bidding predominate.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, which shows the heaviest recent posting volume (Bryan, Bulloch, Liberty, Glynn, Hancock, Dougherty, Early, Henry, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, and GEC Cooperative solicitations), followed by Texas (Edinburg CACFP, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and scattered single opportunities in Florida (Hillsborough), Connecticut (Meriden), Utah (Salt Lake City), Oregon (Central Point), California (Santa Clara), and Mississippi (DeSoto County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items (due August 4, 2026, via OpenGov e-procurement), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 estimated annual value), Madison's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with Wisconsin local-sourcing requirements and 5% diverse-owned-business preference (due July 29, 2026), and Bulloch County's IFP for local produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026). The code shows active procurement demand but does not match its nominal commodity scope—actual purchasing is for diverse fresh produce at scale, not a single berry variety.
