UNSPSC 50302703: Grycleski cranberries

The variety of cranberries known as grycleski cranberries

UNSPSC 50302703 Grycleski cranberries is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and other fruits and vegetables—under this code for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunity block shows minimal cranberry-specific solicitation activity. Instead, the recent opportunities reflect broad fresh-produce procurement across correctional facilities, school districts, senior centers, mental health centers, child care programs, and municipal parks. Most solicitations specify produce quality standards, delivery schedules, temperature control, HACCP compliance, and Buy American requirements where applicable; many include local-sourcing preferences or geographic distance mandates. The issuing bodies span state departments of criminal justice and corrections, county school districts and boards of education, city departments of human services and parks, mental health centers, and regional coalitions serving child-care and senior programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh-fruit-and-vegetable procurement for its Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411; proposals due October 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center with a small-business set-aside (27426DOCJOLIEB53849; due September 3, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's petite-banana procurement at approximately $78,000 annually (RFB 4162; due July 29, 2026), and fresh-produce bids from Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County, and Bartow County school systems in Georgia, all with June-July 2026 deadlines. Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park includes fresh produce supply alongside beverages and prepared items, with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and a three-year term with two one-year renewal options. School-nutrition programs emphasize compliance with USDA standards, CACFP regulations, and whole-grain and nutrition-content requirements; many require competitive pricing, minimum fill rates (97–98 percent), and damage-replacement guarantees at vendor expense.
