UNSPSC 50302202: Bluetta blueberries

The variety of blueberries known as bluetta blueberries

UNSPSC 50302202 Bluetta blueberries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader institutional food procurement market—state and local government buys fresh blueberries primarily through school nutrition programs, child care food initiatives, and correctional facilities. The solicitations indexed under this code show that blueberries appear as line items within larger fresh-produce or grocery procurement bundles rather than as standalone contracts; state and local buyers rarely issue single-item RFPs for one berry variety. Instead, blueberries compete for purchase alongside apples, carrots, strawberries, and dozens of other fresh items in consolidated food service bids. The issuing bodies are overwhelmingly school districts and boards of education, supplemented by city departments managing child care programs and county correctional facilities. School-centered procurement dominates—jurisdictions like Hillsborough County (Tampa, Florida), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and multiple Georgia county school systems have all solicited produce bundles that include berries.

Geographic concentration is heavy in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, where recent activity includes procurements from Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Hancock County, Bartow County, and Henry County school districts, alongside Texas-based districts in Austin, McAllen, and the Dallas area, and Florida districts in Hillsborough and Meriden public schools (Connecticut). A representative recent opportunity is Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26RFP034 (issued February 14, 2026, proposals due March 11, 2026) seeking fresh produce including specialty fruits for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery to 18 elementary schools in a cost-plus fixed-fee contract structure; another is Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 (posted March 16, 2026, bids due April 14, 2026) for fresh produce across 16 school sites, with line items for strawberry clamshells and other berries alongside conventional produce. The code shows no isolated blueberry tenders; pursuit viability depends on positioning blueberries within broader produce vendor strategies targeting school nutrition and institutional child care programs on consolidated supply agreements.
