UNSPSC 50307031: Rowanberries

The type of fruit known as rowanberries

UNSPSC 50307031 Rowanberries is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains 30 recent opportunities across state and local jurisdictions, but only one directly mentions rowanberries by code assignment—a misfiled entry unrelated to the actual commodity. The remaining 29 opportunities span fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts, groceries, beverages, and related food service supplies for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and correctional food operations. Rowanberries themselves do not appear in any of the detailed scope statements, bid specifications, or line-item lists across these opportunities, suggesting the code assignment in the source is a data error rather than active procurement demand.

The procurement activity that does appear under the broader fresh produce umbrella shows strong competition among school districts, school nutrition cooperatives, and specialized food service agencies. Issuing bodies include the Madison Metropolitan School District, Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, DeSoto County School District, Glynn County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, and the GEC Buying Cooperative (representing 30 Georgia school districts). Most recent RFPs and IFBs target fresh fruits and vegetables—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes—with contract terms running July 2026 through June 2027 and estimated annual values ranging from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan for petite bananas alone) to $5.5 million (GEC Buying Cooperative across two geographic areas). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and California, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Oregon. Without evidence of direct procurement demand for rowanberries themselves, pursuit under this code is not recommended unless the bidder has clarity that a specific opportunity has been miscoded and the actual requirement is for rowanberries rather than more common fresh produce varieties.
