UNSPSC 50303805: Red huckleberries

The variety of huckleberries known as red huckleberries

UNSPSC 50303805 Red huckleberries, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of active state and local procurement under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code predominantly solicit fresh produce supply and delivery to institutional food-service operations—correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, mental health treatment centers, and county parks—spanning bananas, apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and dozens of other common fresh fruits and vegetables. Red huckleberries, a specialty berry with limited commercial availability and narrow seasonal supply windows, do not appear in any of the representative recent solicitations. The code designation appears misapplied; state and local buyers are using this tag to procure commodity fresh produce broadly, not a single specialty item.

Activity is concentrated in school districts and state correctional and mental health agencies across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Florida. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for food warehouses and individual facilities (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) with response dates in mid-October 2026; Georgia school districts—Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, and Early County—issued produce bids for the 2026-2027 school year with closings in June through July 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin bid petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163) in July 2026. Illinois Department of Corrections issued a small-business-set-aside fresh produce quote for Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026). Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food concessions at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360). City of Edinburg (Texas) and Head Start of Greater Dallas (Texas) solicited CACFP-compliant grocery and produce items; City of San Antonio sought produce-market operating services. None of these opportunities specifically target red huckleberries or specialty berries as a line item, making pursuit under this code unlikely to align with actual buying patterns without further inquiry into why the tag was applied.
