UNSPSC 50302215: Toro blueberries

The variety of blueberries known as toro blueberries

UNSPSC 50302215 Toro blueberries is a Commodity code that maps poorly to state and local procurement activity in the recent record. The code's nominal scope—a specific cultivar of blueberry—appears in no recent solicitation. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce as a broad category: fresh fruits and vegetables for correctional-facility food service, school nutrition programs, senior centers, child care programs, mental health facilities, and regional parks. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing general fresh-produce supply contracts, not blueberries specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the actual buying patterns suggests either systematic miscoding in state procurement systems or that aggregated produce suppliers bid against this code when responding to produce RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that span multiple items.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, DeSoto County School Districts in multiple states; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Bartow County and others in Georgia), followed by state corrections and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice across multiple facilities; Illinois Department of Corrections; Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and municipal government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida; City of San Antonio; City of Bridgeport; DeSoto County in Mississippi), and Head Start and child care programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas; City of Edinburg CACFP program; Marion Health Care Coalition). Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin, with additional solicitations from Mississippi and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetables to the Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IW267376 and IW267420, due October 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's bids for petite bananas at $78,000 annual value and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program funding (RFB 4162 and 4163, July 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, and specialty items (June 2026); and the Illinois Department of Corrections' small-purchase quote for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under small business set-aside (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, September 2026).
