UNSPSC 50312006: Organic dirksen blackberries

The variety of organic blackberries known as organic dirksen blackberries

UNSPSC 50312006 Organic dirksen blackberries (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local school districts are soliciting produce under this code, but the recent opportunities block contains no blackberry-specific procurement; instead, the opportunities name petite bananas, mixed fresh produce, apples, berries as a category, citrus, leafy greens, and dozens of other commodity items, with blackberries appearing only as one line item among 60-plus produce categories in broader school nutrition solicitations. The code's name references a specific cultivar, but state and local buyers are treating the broader Commodity tier as a catch-all for fresh produce line items rather than procuring organic dirksen blackberries as a standalone offering.

School districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate recent activity in the 50312006 space, though they are acquiring blackberries as incidental components of comprehensive produce contracts rather than standalone specialty items. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce during the March–July 2026 window. Geographic concentration skews heavily toward Georgia school districts, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. Representative solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items (bid due June 26, 2026) and the Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 produce items across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (March 4, 2026 proposal deadline). The code does not support a pursue strategy focused on organic dirksen blackberries as a specialty commodity; buyers are consolidating produce procurement across dozens of items, with blackberries competing on price and quality within broad line-item matrices.
