UNSPSC 50302103: Mountain bilberries

The variety of billberries known as mountain bilberries

UNSPSC 50302103 Mountain bilberries is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments pursue under this designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal direct relevance to bilberries; instead, jurisdictions are actively procuring general fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, groceries, and food service supplies for institutional settings including schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, and other state and local agencies. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than a meaningful category driving current buying patterns.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County and Bryan County boards of education in Georgia, DeSoto County and Dougherty County schools in Mississippi and Georgia, Bartow County and Early County schools in Georgia), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, State of Georgia), counties (Collier County in Florida), cities (Bridgeport, San Antonio, Edinburg), and specialized providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IW267376 and IW267420, proposals due October 19 and October 14, 2026 respectively); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026 at $78,000 annual estimated value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026 with geographic sourcing within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison); Illinois Department of Corrections seeking fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, quotes due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside); and Collier County issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, proposals due March 6, 2025, with 10-point local-vendor preference and three-year contract term). Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary procurement streams in Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and other states. Procurement officers should treat this code as a search-result artifact and pursue opportunities based on the specific product categories and issuing bodies identified in recent RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs rather than relying on the bilberries classification as a filtering mechanism.
