UNSPSC 50302205: Duke blueberries

The variety of blueberries known as duke blueberries

UNSPSC 50302205 Duke blueberries is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit fresh blueberries under this specific code; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the code shows minimal recent activity, with state and local procurement offices bundling fresh produce into broader grocery, fresh fruit and vegetable, and school nutrition food service contracts that combine multiple item categories—apples, bananas, berries, carrots, leafy greens, and other staples—without isolating single-variety produce lines. When blueberries or other berries appear in recent state and local RFPs, they are typically one line item among 40 to 200+ produce SKUs within comprehensive school nutrition, child care, senior services, or correctional facility food procurement.

The recent opportunities that do name berry products—including strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and occasionally blueberries—appear in school district food service contracts, child and adult care food program (CACFP) meal procurements, and correctional facility provisions solicited by school districts, counties, and special-purpose jurisdictions across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. These solicitations are structured as annual or multi-year contracts with weekly or bi-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites or facilities, typically requiring domestic sourcing compliance under Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, traceability documentation, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000. Representative recent examples include the Bulloch County School District's local produce RFP (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026) seeking 24 locally grown produce items for the 2026-2027 school year with emphasis on items within 200 miles of the district, Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ produce line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus for delivery to three school locations, and the GEC Buying Cooperative's multi-district fresh produce and eggs RFP (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) encompassing approximately 72 line items for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated combined annual spending of $5.5 million. Blueberries as a standalone commodity line remain subordinate to larger fruit-and-vegetable bundle procurements; if pursuing this code, target school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and child care operators in high-volume institutional food service regions.
