UNSPSC 50312702: Organic early black cranberries

The variety of organic cranberries known as organic early black cranberries

UNSPSC 50312702 Organic early black cranberries is a Commodity code. The recent solicitations tagged with this code do not procure organic early black cranberries; instead, they solicit fresh produce generally—bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and dozens of other items—for school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this code sees little relevant recent state and local contracting.

The opportunities block shows eighteen recent school district produce solicitations across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, none of which mention organic cranberries or cranberries of any kind. School districts, the dominant issuing bodies, are soliciting year-round fresh produce in bulk quantities through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs (Invitations for Bid) with response dates ranging from late February through late July 2026. Representative examples include Madison Metropolitan School District seeking petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requesting over 200 fresh produce line items (IFB due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System procuring fresh produce and eggs for a 30-district cooperative covering approximately $5.5 million in annual spending across two regions (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). Evaluation criteria consistently weight cost at 30–50 percent, with the remainder split among vendor qualifications, product quality, delivery reliability, and references. School districts require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, workers' compensation and general liability insurance, and traceability documentation; many impose geographic sourcing preferences or support local and minority-owned vendors. If your firm supplies fresh produce to institutional buyers, the code classification appears administratively misaligned with the actual buying pattern, and you should verify the correct code with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities in this category.
