UNSPSC 50312102: Organic dwarf bilberries

The variety of organic billberries known as organic dwarf bilberries

UNSPSC 50312102 Organic dwarf bilberries (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly pursue fresh produce distribution for school nutrition programs—bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and specialty fruits for elementary through high school meal service and federal USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate the issuing-body mix: Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, and Hillsborough County Public Schools. These jurisdictions collectively solicit produce through RFP, RFQ, and IFB notices year-round, with contract periods typically running July through June and renewal options spanning multiple years.

Geographic concentration centers on Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County, Early County) and Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with a due date of June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items and three school delivery locations; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, requiring weekly delivery of 70–90 cases at $78,000 estimated annual value; Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally grown produce (within 200 miles) due May 4, 2026, covering 24 produce items across 14 schools; and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One. Standard evaluation criteria weight cost (typically 30–50 percent), product quality and availability, vendor qualifications and experience, compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, delivery performance, and references. The code's mismatch with organic dwarf bilberries—a specialty berry item not present in any recent solicitation—signals that procurement classification does not reflect actual buying patterns in the school nutrition market.
