UNSPSC 50317033: Organic silverberries

The type of organic fruit known as organic silverberries

UNSPSC 50317033 Organic silverberries (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records almost exclusively as mislabeled opportunities for fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and related food service items that bear no relationship to the code's nominal scope. School districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts across Georgia, Florida, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin are actively soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition and school lunch programs, but the opportunities tagged under this code cover bananas, apples, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, berries, citrus, leafy greens, and eggs—not organic silverberries. The recent solicitations reflect demand for high-volume, weekly or twice-weekly delivery of commodity produce to multiple school sites, with strict HACCP, traceability, and USDA compliance requirements, Buy American provisions, and pricing pegged to USDA market indices or cost-plus models.

The issuing bodies are almost entirely school nutrition programs within county boards of education and independent school districts, with occasional participation by state agencies and special cooperative purchasing vehicles. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and others across Georgia have posted RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs with response dates between late June and late April 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant approval), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027), and Douglas County School System RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual value $5.5 million combined). The code shows significant mismatch with actual procurement activity—vendors should treat this taxonomy entry as a data error and source opportunities through direct school nutrition program monitoring rather than UNSPSC category search.
