UNSPSC 50313802: Organic cascade huckleberries

The variety of organic huckleberries known as organic cascade huckleberries

UNSPSC 50313802 Organic cascade huckleberries, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce items state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, parks and recreation food services, healthcare facilities, and other public institutions. Recent solicitations show this code in practice encompasses a broad range of fresh fruits and vegetables — not huckleberries specifically — with school districts being the dominant buyer. Madison Metropolitan School District has solicited petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin, and broader produce line items; Hancock County Board of Education sought over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year. Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food vendor services for concession operations at North Collier Regional Park via Invitation to Negotiate, with evaluation criteria heavily weighting menu variety and operational plan. Work under the code ranges from single-commodity bids (petite bananas at $78,000 annual value) to multi-item procurement across dozens of produce types, with delivery compliance, food-safety certification, HACCP plans, and traceability documentation standard across all opportunities.

The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts conducting regular seasonal procurement tied to the school-year calendar; Hancock County, Madison Metropolitan, Early County, and Bartow County school systems posted solicitations between May and July 2026. County governments and special-purpose districts account for secondary activity — Collier County's parks concession and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce request. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with posted opportunities in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and state-level procurement), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Florida (Collier County), plus broader state procurement in Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan's petite banana bid (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for July 2026 through June 2027 with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering apples, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and root vegetables with delivery to three school sites. Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 required local-sourced fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026. All three jurisdictions weight cost between 30–40% of evaluation; school districts apply local-vendor preferences, diverse-owned business credits of 5%, and domestic-sourcing or geographic-proximity preferences in final scoring.
