UNSPSC 50311901: Organic alpine bearberries

The variety of organic bearberries known as organic alpine bearberries

UNSPSC 50311901 Organic alpine bearberries is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are currently buying under this classification. The recent opportunities in the dataset show school districts and educational agencies sourcing fresh produce for child nutrition programs, but none of these solicitations target organic alpine bearberries or any specialty berry category matching the code's nominal scope. The opportunities span petite bananas, mixed fresh produce, local seasonal fruits and vegetables, and standardized commodity produce for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs—categories that fall outside the specific crop scope this code purports to cover. The mismatch suggests the code is either rarely used for state and local procurement activity or is applied inconsistently by issuing bodies when tagging fresh-produce solicitations.

School nutrition programs across multiple states—chiefly Georgia and Texas, with activity in Wisconsin and Florida—are actively procuring fresh produce through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs, but the commodities being solicited (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and stone fruits) are broader categories that do not require procurement specialists to filter specifically for organic alpine bearberries. The Douglas County School System and Madison Metropolitan School District issued recent opportunities for fresh produce and commodity fruits under cooperative purchasing vehicles or district-level RFPs with response dates in June and July 2026, but none reference the alpine bearberry commodity. Vendors should verify the actual product scope before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the classification appears disconnected from current institutional buying patterns in state and local school nutrition procurement.
