UNSPSC 50314701: Organic black mulberries

The variety of organic mulberries known as organic black mulberries

UNSPSC 50314701 Organic black mulberries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh organic fruit, though the recent solicitation record shows minimal direct activity under this specific item. The code's scope encompasses organic produce items, particularly berries and specialty fruits, sourced for institutional food service operations including school districts, county parks, healthcare facilities, and other public agencies. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this family include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, driven by participation in USDA meal programs and the Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program, which incentivize local and organic sourcing.

Recent opportunities in the code's territory show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest, particularly Georgia and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), which applies a $0.20 per pound preference discount on organic produce and requires sourcing within 400 miles of Madison; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026), which mandates 400-mile sourcing and seasonal availability planning; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026); and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal (due August 21, 2026). Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025) addresses concession fruit and beverage provisioning across multiple park venues. School nutrition programs emphasize domestic content, organic premium pricing, local-vendor preferences, traceability documentation, and compliance with HACCP and food-safety regulations. Geographic preferences, organic premiums, and Buy American provisions feature prominently across Georgia and Wisconsin solicitations.
