UNSPSC 50316702: Organic june bearing strawberries

The variety of organic strawberries known as organic june bearing strawberries

UNSPSC 50316702 Organic june bearing strawberries is a Commodity code that state and local governments purchase primarily through school nutrition programs serving students under federal child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show school districts acquiring organic strawberries as components of broader fresh produce procurement — sometimes as standalone line items within fresh fruit portfolios, and in some cases bundled with other berries, fruits, and vegetables for school breakfast and lunch programs or federally funded fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacking initiatives. The code sees activity from independent school districts and county boards of education across multiple states, with purchasing typically conducted through competitive bidding (IFB, RFB, RFP, ITB) for annual or multi-year supply contracts. These districts tend to emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety certification, insurance requirements (typically $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability), weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, and adherence to USDA nutrition and whole-grain standards. A subset of recent opportunities explicitly prioritize local and organic sourcing through dedicated farm-to-school initiatives or organic procurement line items.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity under this code, with notable procurements from the Glynn County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, all issuing bids or RFPs between February and April 2026 for fresh produce including berries. Representative recent opportunities include Bulloch County School District's IFP for local farm produce (including strawberries, due May 4, 2026, with contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce encompassing strawberry clamshells at 5,900 units annually (due April 23, 2026). Outside Georgia, Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) and McAllen Independent School District (Texas) have posted solicitations for fresh produce and fresh fruit and vegetable program items within similar timeframes. Activity extends to transit-dependent school lunch programs and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives, where produce procurement is grant-funded and subject to geographic preference or local-sourcing mandates.
