UNSPSC 50304700: Mulberries

Any of a genus (morus of the family moraceae, the mulberry family) of trees with an edible usually purple multiple fruit that is an aggregate of juicy one-seeded drupes

UNSPSC 50304700 Mulberries, a Class code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span fresh produce distribution for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional food service, but mulberries appear in none of the posted solicitations. The buying pattern instead covers comprehensive fresh-produce procurement—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, eggs, and seasonal items—alongside occasional dried fruits and nuts. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Salt Lake City School District (Utah), and multiple Georgia school systems (Bulloch County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Dougherty County, and Savannah-Chatham County). Other frequent buyers include county and municipal food service authorities, Head Start programs, child care food programs, and one county correctional facility. No procurement activity appears under the mulberries code itself; the tag mismatch signals either a data-entry error in the source systems or a legacy taxonomy inconsistency.

Recent activity clusters geographically in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Utah, and Connecticut, with representation from California and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal-program RFP (due August 4, 2026) seeking five supply categories including fresh produce for approximately 400 children daily; the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP through Douglas County School System (due March 4, 2026) covering fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two geographic areas with estimated spending of $5.5 million annually; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' cost-plus fresh fruit and vegetable program RFP (due March 11, 2026, with estimated annual budget of $600,000 for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary schools). The code carries no meaningful recent activity specific to mulberries, making it unsuitable for business development targeting under this taxonomy designation.
