UNSPSC 50303801: Black winter huckleberries

The variety of huckleberries known as black winter huckleberries

UNSPSC 50303801 Black winter huckleberries is a Commodity code that does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations specifically for black winter huckleberries; instead, issuing bodies across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Mississippi are soliciting fresh produce broadly—including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, and seasonal items—for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, senior services, and correctional facilities. The code's nominal specificity to a single produce variety does not track the actual purchasing behavior, which spans general fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts where huckleberries, if procured at all, would be one line item among dozens or hundreds.

Recent solicitations show state departments of corrections (Texas, Illinois), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County), counties (Collier County in Florida), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and specialized agencies (Head Start, Madden Mental Health Center) issuing RFPs, RFBs, IFBs, and ITNs for fresh produce delivery on one-year or multi-year terms, typically with weekly or bi-weekly deliveries, Buy American provisions where applicable, HACCP compliance, and insurance requirements. Geographic concentration spans the Southeast (Georgia, Mississippi, Florida), Midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin), and Texas. Contract values reported include $78,000 (Madison petite bananas), $969,460.94 (Head Start grocery), and $15 per square foot annual rent plus operational costs (Collier County concessions). This code does not meaningfully capture that market activity.
