UNSPSC 50307015: Honeyberries

The type of fruit known as honeyberries

UNSPSC 50307015 Honeyberries, a Commodity code, remains largely inactive in recent state and local procurement activity. While the code nominally describes a specific berry variety for food service, the recent opportunities posted under or near this classification span much broader fresh produce, grocery, and food service categories—including comprehensive school nutrition programs, institutional meal supply contracts, and specialized fruit and vegetable procurement—but contain minimal to no explicit demand for honeyberries as a distinct line item. The issuing bodies conducting these solicitations include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bulloch County, Henry County, Glynn County, Liberty County, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent, Salt Lake City, and others), county boards of education across Georgia, the City of Edinburg, Head Start agencies, and county correctional facilities. The work involves weekly or bi-weekly delivery of fresh produce staples—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries), citrus, and peppers—to school kitchens, central warehouses, and senior centers under fixed-price or cost-plus contracts typically running one fiscal year with renewal options.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia school districts and Texas independent school districts, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, Utah, and California. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, is procuring food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children under RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026). Honeyberries do not appear as a specified item in any of these posted opportunities; vendors pursuing this code should verify demand through direct outreach to nutrition directors or procurement officers, as the category shows no current procurement signal for this specialized commodity.
