UNSPSC 50306600: Saskatoon berries

The type of fruit known as saskatoon berries

UNSPSC 50306600 Saskatoon berries, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The available opportunities overwhelmingly solicit for general fresh produce procurement — including apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and mixed fruits and vegetables — rather than saskatoon berries specifically. School districts, state correctional and mental health facilities, senior services divisions, child care programs, and food service contractors represent the issuing body mix, with no solicitations naming saskatoon berries as a line item or scope component. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal commodity definition.

State and local procurement under this code designation spans Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice fresh produce deliveries to multiple facilities including Palestine and Snyder, posted October 2026), Illinois (Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health produce contracts, August 2026), Florida (Collier County's food services concession at North Collier Regional Park, due March 2025), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, July 2026), Georgia (multiple school district produce bids including Hancock County, Bartow County, Bryan County, and Dougherty County through June 2026), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items including fresh produce, June 2026), Texas (Head Start and City of Edinburg child nutrition programs, June 2026), and Mississippi (DeSoto County School District produce distribution, June 2026). School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing body list. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce quote for Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas bid (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026 at $78,000 annual value), Head Start of Greater Dallas' grocery products procurement (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026, at $969,460.94 total estimated value), and Dougherty County Board of Education's fresh produce sealed bid (due June 16, 2026 for the 2026–2027 school year). The mismatch between the code's specific commodity and the broad general produce solicitations suggests the code is being applied imprecisely or the taxonomy does not reflect current state and local buying patterns for this narrow berry category.
