UNSPSC 50302708: Pilgrim cranberries

The variety of cranberries known as pilgrim cranberries

UNSPSC 50302708 Pilgrim cranberries is a Commodity code that captures a single perishable produce item rarely appearing in state and local procurement activity. The source contains no recent solicitations specifically requesting pilgrim cranberries; instead, the records document fresh produce procurements across fruits, vegetables, and eggs that span multiple items, varieties, and specifications, but do not isolate or reference cranberries—pilgrim or otherwise—as a line item or standalone procurement focus. The code's nominal scope (a branded or regionally identified cranberry variety) does not align with the representative recent opportunities in the dataset.

State and local governments are soliciting fresh produce actively through school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, senior services, and detention facilities across multiple jurisdictions including Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. The recent opportunities show school districts and food service agencies procuring comprehensive produce assortments—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and dozens of other items—often on annual or multi-year contracts with weekly or bi-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites or service locations. Representative solicitations include the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (covering 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas, proposals due March 4, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (18 elementary schools, estimated annual budget $600,000, proposals due March 11, 2026), and Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries, beverages, and produce (8,200 students across 13 sites, anticipated contract value $3.1 million, proposals due February 25, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia school districts, Texas independent school districts, and Florida and Connecticut public school systems, with additional municipal and county food service procurements in California. Given the code's specificity to a single produce variety and the absence of pilgrim cranberry references in recent state and local solicitations, this code shows minimal activity relevant to business development focus.
