UNSPSC 50312700: Organic cranberries

The type of organic fruit known as organic cranberries

UNSPSC 50312700 Organic cranberries is a Class code that covers the supply of organic cranberry products to state and local food service operations, though the recent solicitations under this code focus more broadly on fresh produce procurement for schools, parks, and healthcare facilities. State and local governments buying under this code seek fresh fruits and vegetables—including cranberries where relevant—to support school lunch programs, park concessions, and institutional food service. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County), state departments (State of Georgia), and specialized healthcare procurement coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple concurrent RFBs and RFPs for fresh produce in summer and early fall 2026 to support upcoming school years and summer programming.

Recent opportunities concentrate in the Southeast and Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two concurrent RFBs in July 2026—one for petite bananas (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026, estimated contract value $78,000 for the 2026-27 school year) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles with $0.20 per pound organic preference) under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia released IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple produce categories for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System in Georgia posted RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposal deadline June 22, 2026). Collier County's Parks and Recreation Division issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response due March 6, 2025), which includes produce through an operator contract rather than direct supply. Early County Board of Education posted line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items for school lunch and breakfast programs. Geographic activity spans Wisconsin, Georgia, and Florida, with school-year procurement cycles driving deadline clustering in May through July 2026.
