UNSPSC 50311903: Organic common bearberries

The variety of organic bearberries known as organic common bearberries

UNSPSC 50311903 Organic common bearberries is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations in the source block. The nine opportunities posted between February and July 2026 consistently procure fresh produce — bananas, apples, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and ready-to-eat produce items — for school nutrition programs and food service operations. None of the posted solicitations reference bearberries, organic or conventional, or any berry species matching the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent, and Douglas County), with geographic concentration in Georgia and Texas, and one opportunity from the State of Georgia. RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs dominate the posting mix, with response dates clustering in March through July 2026 and contract terms running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.

The mismatch between the code and actual procurement activity signals low or irrelevant recent opportunity volume under this specific commodity line. School nutrition programs and institutional food service buyers purchase produce in high-volume commodity categories — bananas by the thousands of cases (Hancock County projected over 1,500 cases annually; Savannah-Chatham over 21,000 cases of Fuji apples alone), apples, mixed vegetables, and berries as bulk or ready-to-eat items — but the solicitations do not specify bearberries as a line item or specialty procurement. If your firm supplies organic bearberries, the code assignment in state and local systems appears to be either unused or misapplied to this product category in current procurement practice. Monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and regional produce RFPs closely, but expect limited state and local demand under this specific code in the near term.
