UNSPSC 50307102: Brillantisima chokeberries

The variety of chokeberries known as brillantisima chokeberries

UNSPSC 50307102 Brillantisima chokeberries (Commodity) represents a narrow produce category that sees minimal direct solicitation in state and local procurement. The code nominally designates a specific varietal chokeberry, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code actually reflect broad fresh produce procurement — primarily fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional food service across correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior centers, and child care programs. Actual buying activity centers on multi-item produce supply contracts serving meals to incarcerated populations, school children, seniors, and residents of state mental health facilities, rather than chokeberries as a distinct line item. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health in Texas and Illinois, county and municipal school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Connecticut, city senior services departments, and Head Start organizations. No single entity dominates; instead, school nutrition programs appear most frequently across the recent opportunities, reflecting the scale and regularity of institutional food service procurement.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses in Snyder and Huntsville (IFB IW267420 and IW267411, responses due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections soliciting fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, with small business set-aside), the Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and 4163, bids due July 29, 2026, with geographic preference and diversity scoring), and Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce for the 2026-2027 school year (IFB SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026). Most school-based procurements carry Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content, HACCP compliance, and delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites on fixed schedules. Pricing structures vary — some contracts use firm fixed unit pricing, others employ cost-plus-fee models, and several include escalation clauses tied to USDA indices. Set-asides and preferences include small business designations in Illinois and Texas corrections, diverse-owned business scoring in school districts, and local-vendor preferences in Wisconsin and Georgia.
