UNSPSC 50302208: Misty blueberries

The variety of blueberries known as misty blueberries

UNSPSC 50302208 Misty blueberries (Commodity) does not reflect the recent activity in state and local procurement under this code. The available opportunities show school districts, child care agencies, and correctional facilities procuring fresh produce broadly—including apples, bananas, leafy greens, carrots, berries, and eggs—as components of meal programs serving K–12 students, Head Start participants, seniors, and incarcerated individuals. The code appears to capture a narrow product line (misty blueberries specifically) that does not align with the scope of solicitations posted between January and July 2026, which span comprehensive fresh-produce categories, processed foods, beverages, janitorial supplies, and paper goods under food-service contracts.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Texas school districts—including Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Henry County, Liberty County, and Muscogee County in Georgia; McAllen and Austin independent school districts in Texas—alongside a Connecticut school district (Meriden Public Schools at $3.1 million annually), an Oregon district (Central Point School District #6 at approximately $302,000 annually), and specialized procurement through cooperative purchasing (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts with $5.5 million in annual combined spending). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, the City of San Antonio, Texas, and the County of Santa Clara, California, also appear as repeat issuing bodies. Solicitation types include Invitations for Bid (IFB), Requests for Proposal (RFP), and Requests for Quotation (RFQ), with response dates typically spanning 4 to 8 weeks. School districts emphasize Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plan compliance, firm fixed pricing or cost-plus-fixed-fee models, weekly or bi-weekly deliveries to multiple sites, and insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $2 million. No recent opportunity explicitly names misty blueberries or targets this Commodity code specifically, suggesting either low procurement volume or a taxonomy mismatch between the code definition and actual state and local buying patterns for this product.
