UNSPSC 50302104: Oval-leaved bilberries

The variety of billberries known as oval-leaved bilberries

UNSPSC 50302104 Oval-leaved bilberries (Commodity) does not map to state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific berry product; however, the recent solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly reflect generalist school nutrition procurement for comprehensive food service—including multithousand-line-item grocery, produce, and beverage contracts—rather than procurement of oval-leaved bilberries as a distinct item. Most notices involve fresh produce categories spanning apples, bananas, carrots, peppers, and dozens of other common produce lines, with only one opportunity (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Tampa, Florida, cost-plus fixed-fee contract for specialty fruits and vegetables in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program) tangentially supporting fresh-fruit procurement that might include specialty berries. The remainder—including the City of Bridgeport grocery IFB (over 1,100 line items), Meriden Public Schools produce-and-beverages RFP ($3.1 million estimated value), and the GEC Buying Cooperative fresh produce and eggs RFP ($5.5 million across two geographic areas in Georgia)—represent broad institutional food service sourcing in which oval-leaved bilberries, if procured at all, would be a negligible component.

The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a code reassignment artifact. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal food service departments dominate the issuing-body mix across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California jurisdictions posting between January and July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia school districts (Bulloch, Bryan, Dougherty, Glynn, Henry, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Bartow counties), with notable procurements also from Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Edinburg), Connecticut (Meriden), Florida (Hillsborough), and Oregon (Central Point). If pursuing oval-leaved bilberries specifically, verify the correct UNSPSC code and search for specialty fruit or ethnic produce procurement rather than general school nutrition solicitations.
