UNSPSC 50302204: Chandler blueberries

The variety of blueberries known as chandler blueberries

UNSPSC 50302204 Chandler blueberries (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within the fresh produce category, but recent state and local procurement activity does not align meaningfully with this specific commodity code. The opportunities tagged under this code span institutional food service for schools, prisons, mental health facilities, senior centers, and child care programs — and while fresh produce appears across these solicitations, the predominant items are generic fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and other staples) rather than Chandler blueberries specifically. Only one solicitation — Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks — specifies produce sourcing and processing requirements, but does not call out Chandler blueberries by name or variety. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County, DeSoto County), state correctional and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county social services and parks divisions (Collier County, DeSoto County), and Head Start and senior services agencies across Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Mississippi.

The geographic spread skews heavily toward the Southeast and upper Midwest, with significant activity in Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County), Texas corrections and child care programs (TDCJ facilities in Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine; Head Start of Greater Dallas; City of Edinburg CACFP), Illinois state facilities (DOC, DMH), and school districts in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Mississippi (DeSoto County). Representative recent opportunities include Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetables to food warehouses in Snyder (IW267420) and Wynne (IW267411), both due October 14, 2026, seeking bulk commodity supply; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin, due July 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CST with a 5% diverse-owned business preference; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple, berry, and vegetable varieties, due June 26, 2026. The code itself shows minimal relevance to actual buying patterns — vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor generic fresh produce and specific-variety RFPs rather than expect blueberry-specific demand signals in current state and local procurement.
