UNSPSC 50303805: Red huckleberries

The variety of huckleberries known as red huckleberries

UNSPSC 50303805 Red huckleberries is a Commodity code representing a single produce line item within fresh fruit procurement. State and local governments buy under this code primarily as part of broader school nutrition and child care food service contracts, where red huckleberries appear as one of many fruit options in mixed-produce solicitations rather than as standalone procurement requests. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated red huckleberry contract; instead, huckleberries (when named) appear as minor line items nested within comprehensive fresh produce bids covering 60+ produce categories. Issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs—school districts and boards of education from states including Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California—supplemented by early childhood care programs (Head Start, Child and Adult Care Food Program operators) and occasionally municipalities and county food service operations. These entities buy produce in bulk for child nutrition and school breakfast/lunch programs under federal CACFP and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program rules.

The geographic spread spans the Southeast (Georgia school districts dominate recent activity with Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Bryan County, Savannah-Chatham, and Glynn County all posting sealed bids for produce in March–June 2026), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), California (Santa Clara County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), and Oregon (Central Point School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of fresh produce including berries and specialty fruits; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce procurement (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) encompassing 72 items including processed single-serve fresh produce; and the GEC Buying Cooperative regional RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) sourcing produce across 30 Georgia school districts with approximately $5.5 million combined annual spend. No recent solicitation identified red huckleberries as a specified line item; the code shows minimal standalone activity and appears only as an optional or seasonal component within much larger commodity baskets.
