UNSPSC 50312710: Organic stevens cranberries

The variety of organic cranberries known as organic stevens cranberries

UNSPSC 50312710 Organic stevens cranberries, a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single specialty produce item—organic Stevens cranberries—but the recent opportunities tagged under it solicitation are overwhelmingly for broad fresh produce procurement spanning apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, berries, eggs, and dozens of other fruits and vegetables. School nutrition programs are the dominant issuing bodies, including the Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System via the GEC Buying Cooperative. A single State of Georgia food supplies procurement (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009) also appears tagged under this code but provides no scope detail in the public record.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary activity in Florida and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 annual contract value) and RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (due July 29, 2026, contingent on USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding); the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, covering 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two); and the Glynn County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce across 16 school locations (due April 14, 2026). All solicitations require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, food safety documentation, liability insurance, and weekly or multi-weekly delivery to school sites. The code does not reflect recent organic cranberry–specific procurement; state and local buyers appear to tag broad school nutrition produce RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs under this commodity code regardless of whether organic cranberries are included in scope.
