UNSPSC 50307007: Cloudberries

The type of fruit known as cloudberries

UNSPSC 50307007 Cloudberries is a Commodity code, but the source contains no recent state or local procurement activity for cloudberries themselves. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve fresh produce supply and delivery across multiple issuing bodies — primarily state correctional and mental health facilities, school districts, county parks departments, and senior service agencies — all procuring general fresh fruits and vegetables rather than cloudberries specifically. The scope of work under these opportunities encompasses bi-weekly or weekly delivery of mixed fresh produce (apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and related items) to institutional food service operations, with vendors typically responsible for transportation, temperature control, and compliance with USDA quality and food safety standards. Issuing bodies include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple facility locations), Illinois Department of Corrections, school districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas, county boards of education, Collier County Parks and Recreation, and municipal senior services divisions. Many solicitations carry set-asides for small businesses or minority and woman-owned enterprises, and several impose Buy American provisions or local-vendor preferences.

Activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas, with the most recent and most numerous opportunities posted from May through October 2026 in Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Hancock County, DeSoto County, Early County), Texas (TDCJ facilities at Palestine, Snyder, and Wynne; City of Edinburg CACFP program), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Illinois (Departments of Corrections and Mental Health), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for fresh fruit and vegetables delivery to the Wynne Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Mental Health's small-purchase procurement for fresh fruits and vegetables at Madden Mental Health Center (due August 14, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas with estimated annual value of $78,000 (due July 29, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, and root vegetables for school year 2026-2027 (due June 26, 2026). The mismatch between the code name (cloudberries, a specialized northern berry) and the actual procurement activity (commodity fresh produce in institutional food service) suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging or that cloudberries do not constitute a significant state and local procurement category at this time.
