UNSPSC 50417014: Organic caperberries

The type of organic vegetable known as organic caperberries

UNSPSC 50417014 Organic caperberries (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty pickled or brined caper berries — bears no relation to the fresh produce and food service items dominating the opportunities tagged under it. Recent solicitations consistently name institutional food procurement — fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs, state operations, and child nutrition services — with no mention of caperberries or specialty preserved products. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for fresh-produce family procurement without granular commodity alignment.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida are the primary soliciting bodies, supplemented by state purchasing offices and independent school districts. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia IFB, June 8, 2026 response), Northside Independent School District (Texas RFP 2026-048, May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida FFVP RFP, March 11, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia IFB, April 29, 2026), Muscogee County School District (Georgia ITB 26-017, April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia Bid 26-34, April 23, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia IFB 27-02, April 14, 2026), and McAllen Independent School District (Texas RFP 2026-1029, March 6, 2026) represent the range. The State of Georgia issued parallel solicitations for food supplies (May 15, 2026 due date) and fresh produce (IFB #4, May 27, 2026). Douglas County School System procured for a 30-district cooperative spanning two Georgia regions (RFP SN 26-004, March 4, 2026 due). Multi-vendor awards on line-item bases are standard; firm pricing for 12-month terms with prospective redetermination clauses tied to USDA or CPI indices are routine. Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, product traceability, and food safety compliance dominate requirements. No incumbent vendors appear in the records, and no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly identified, though some districts encourage HUB or minority vendor participation under federal nutrition program guidelines.
