UNSPSC 50341900: Frozen bearberries

The type of fruit known as bearberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341900 Frozen bearberries is a Class code that identifies a single frozen fruit commodity, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code is minimal. The most recent state and local opportunities do not feature frozen bearberries as a line item or prominent procurement target; the dataset shows no direct solicitations for this commodity alone. Instead, frozen fruit procurement at the state and local level typically rolls into broader food-supply contracts spanning multiple frozen proteins, vegetables, baked goods, and specialty items purchased by institutional food services — state hospital systems, state supported living centers, school districts, county senior services, and child care providers. When frozen fruits appear in these solicitations, they are embedded within line-item sheets that cover dozens or hundreds of products priced individually, with no requirement to bid the entire category.

Recent opportunities involving frozen products more broadly include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017338, approximately $9 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (S2910000017684, due August 19, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh and frozen produce solicitation for school nutrition programs (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026). These represent the geographic and issuing-body distribution visible in the dataset — Texas state agencies and health systems are the most active buyers of frozen commodity foods, followed by state correctional and education agencies in Oregon and Georgia. Frozen bearberries as a standalone commodity do not surface in current state or local RFQs, RFPs, or IFBs; pursuit under this code should focus on bundled institutional food contracts where frozen berries are one line item among many, rather than targeted specialty sourcing.
