UNSPSC 50304802: Bayberries

The type of fruit known as bayberries

UNSPSC 50304802 Bayberries, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent opportunities dataset. The source contains no solicitations explicitly requesting bayberries. Instead, the recent-opportunities block reflects active state and local procurement across a far broader category of fresh produce, dried fruits, nuts, and food service items — spanning school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and correctional food service across multiple states.

The mismatch between the code name and actual buying activity is stark. School districts, county boards of education, and specialized nutrition programs are procuring comprehensive fresh produce assortments (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon) through RFPs and IFBs; cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts); CACFP and FFVP federal meal programs; and cost-plus models tied to USDA Terminal Wholesale Market pricing. The City of San Antonio's Senior Services Division, the County of Santa Clara's correctional facility, and Head Start programs are also active buyers. The recent solicitations name issuing bodies across Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, Utah, Mississippi, and California, with posting dates concentrated between January and July 2026. Representative opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's petite-banana RFB (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated contract value $78,000), the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program RFP (estimated $600,000 annually, due March 11, 2026), the GEC Buying Cooperative fresh-produce-and-eggs RFP covering 30 Georgia school districts (estimated $5.5 million annually, due March 4, 2026), and the Austin Independent School District fresh-produce-and-beverages RFP (no value specified, due March 11, 2026). If your firm pursues produce supply to state and local food service programs, monitor the broader fresh-produce and food-service-items codes rather than this narrow commodity classification.
