UNSPSC 50307034: Sorb berries

The type of fruit known as sorb berries

UNSPSC 50307034 Sorb berries (Commodity) does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations for sorb berries or similar specialty berry commodities. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable, and grocery procurement across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, child care, and mental health institutions—none of which reference sorb berries by name or specialty berry sourcing. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the actual work being bought suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that sorb berries occupy a negligible share of state and local produce procurement.

The recent activity shows repeated RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITN postings for fresh produce supply to correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, multiple food warehouses), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bartow County in Georgia; Bridgeport in Connecticut; DeSoto County in Mississippi), child care programs (City of Edinburg CACFP, Head Start of Greater Dallas), senior services (City of San Antonio), and mental health and healthcare facilities (Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Corrections) across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi. None target sorb berries specifically; most call for standard produce varieties (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, root vegetables) with Buy American compliance and USDA food-safety standards. A business development professional should verify whether sorb berries are genuinely procured under this code or whether broader produce-family codes better reflect current market opportunity.
