UNSPSC 50302203: Brigitta blueberries

The variety of blueberries known as brigitta blueberries

UNSPSC 50302203 Brigitta blueberries, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of fresh berries and specialty fruits for institutional food service — most visibly through child nutrition programs, school districts, and municipal agencies operating meal services. Recent solicitations show blueberries competing within broader fresh-produce categories serving CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) operations, USDA school lunch and breakfast programs, and senior nutrition initiatives, though the code also appears in buys covering mixed fresh fruit, vegetables, and related grocery categories where berries represent one line item among dozens.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing produce under this code span school districts of varying size (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Austin Independent School District in Texas, and Henry County Schools in Georgia), county school boards (Glynn County, Liberty County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Early County, Bryan County, and Hancock County systems in Georgia), municipal departments (the City of Edinburg, Texas issuing the CACFP RFP; the City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services), and cooperative buying consortiums (the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 40 Georgia school nutrition directors). Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary concentration in Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and California. The most recent activity includes Madison Metropolitan School District's IFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a July 29, 2026 response date, emphasizing Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issuing RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with proposals due March 11, 2026; the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 covering fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas with responses due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of $5.5 million; and the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program foods with proposals due August 4, 2026, applying Texas local-vendor preference rules favoring bids within 5 percent of the lowest price. No recent opportunities explicitly name blueberries as a standalone line item; the code sees activity primarily when fresh berries appear as components within mixed-produce solicitations emphasizing seasonal fruit variety, nutritional compliance, and delivery to multiple school or service sites.
