UNSPSC 50317011: Organic elderberries

The type of organic fruit known as organic elderberries

UNSPSC 50317011 Organic elderberries, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The nine opportunities in the source dataset—spanning school district produce procurement from Florida to Texas and Georgia cooperative purchases—focus on conventional fresh produce (bananas, apples, berries, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, and other staples) and processed produce items; none specifically solicit organic elderberries or position them as a line item. The code's nominal focus on a single organic specialty fruit diverges sharply from the institutional food-service buying patterns evident in the recent opportunities, which emphasize volume commodity produce for child nutrition programs, fresh fruit and vegetable program service, and farm-to-school initiatives across broad, multi-item produce portfolios.

Recent purchasing activity concentrates among Georgia school districts and independent school systems in Texas and Utah, with secondary activity in Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) sourcing fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million; the McAllen Independent School District's RFP 2026-1029 (posted March 6, 2026, deadline extended by addendum) for fresh produce across 31 campuses; and the Salt Lake City School District's Bid #DH2647-FPD (posted March 4, 2026, due April 1, 2026) for 60 produce line items across 38 facilities. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with occasional farm-to-school procurement (Bulloch County, Bartow County) emphasizing local sourcing within specified mile-radius requirements. Geographic concentration in Georgia reflects regional school-district consolidation efforts and cooperative purchasing vehicles, while scattered procurement across Texas, Florida, Utah, and Wisconsin indicates nationwide institutional demand for fresh produce contracts. Organic certification and specialty items command minimal market presence in current state and local opportunities under this code.
