UNSPSC 50307032: Sea buckhorn berries

The type of fruit known as sea buckhorn berries

UNSPSC 50307032 Sea buckhorn berries (Commodity) represents a narrow product line with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code encompasses fresh and processed sea buckhorn berries and sea buckhorn–derived products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations tagged with this code show virtually no direct demand for sea buckhorn berries themselves. Instead, state and local buyers are using broader produce codes to procure general fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and grocery items that may occasionally include specialty or imported fruit varieties but rarely specify sea buckhorn as a line item.

The recent activity tagged under this code reflects institutional food service procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services programs, and child care organizations in Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida — spanning school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, incarcerated populations, and child and adult care food programs. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IW267376, due October 19, 2026, and IW267420, due October 14, 2026, respectively); the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, with small business set-aside); and Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and RFB 4163, both due July 29, 2026). School districts represent the largest category of recent buyers, followed by correctional and mental health institutions. The code shows no evidence of current demand for sea buckhorn berries as a specified product — buyers are procuring mainstream produce (bananas, apples, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, berries) under general fresh fruit and vegetable classifications rather than seeking specialty berries by name.
