UNSPSC 50312001: Organic apache blackberries

The variety of organic blackberries known as organic apache blackberries

UNSPSC 50312001 Organic apache blackberries is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reveal a dramatic mismatch: the source shows no procurement activity for organic apache blackberries whatsoever. Instead, the opportunities record school district food service solicitations for comprehensive fresh produce portfolios—apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty items—through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs issued by school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida. The code appears to be either misfiled or obsolete in active procurement taxonomy, as the recent record contains no vendor solicitations, awards, or purchasing patterns specific to organic blackberries or any single-SKU specialty fruit procurement at the school nutrition scale.

School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat activity from Georgia districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Glynn County Board of Education) alongside Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and one Florida district (Hillsborough County Public Schools). The Douglas County School System also solicited on behalf of 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, bids due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items (bids due June 26, 2026). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. If pursuing this code, flag the categorical misalignment with your procurement team—the UNSPSC assignment does not reflect actual buying patterns in school nutrition, and targeting single-fruit specialty suppliers against multi-item institutional RFPs is unlikely to yield wins.
