UNSPSC 50303804: Mountain huckleberries

The variety of huckleberries known as mountain huckleberries

UNSPSC 50303804 Mountain huckleberries (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The source records show solicitations for general fresh produce supply — bananas, apples, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and other commodity fruits and vegetables — to schools, correctional facilities, senior centers, mental health centers, and food service programs, with no mountain huckleberries appearing in any recent opportunity. The taxonomy label is too narrow to serve as a practical guide to buying patterns.

State and local issuing bodies conducting produce procurement span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County schools in Georgia; DeSoto County in Mississippi; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), correctional and mental health facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice food warehouses in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville; Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center; Illinois Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center), county governments (Collier County, Florida; DeSoto County, Mississippi), cities (San Antonio, Edinburg, and Bridgeport), and specialized service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Produce procurement activity is heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with significant volume in Texas, Illinois, Florida, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, due October 19, 2026, RFP), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025), the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles), the Illinois Department of Corrections solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for fresh produce to Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside), and the Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026, requiring farms within 400 miles). Procurement terms typically run one school or fiscal year with optional renewals, delivery is often multi-site and weekly or bi-weekly, and Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million minimum), and prevailing wage requirements are common in school and institutional settings.
