UNSPSC 50341903: Frozen common bearberries

The variety of bearberries known as common bearberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341903 Frozen common bearberries, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specialized frozen fruit product, but the most-recent solicitations in the dataset—all posted between January and July 2026—reflect broad grocery and food-service procurement by school districts, state agencies, county boards of education, and correctional facilities. These solicitations span frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies across hundreds of line items per contract, with frozen berries mentioned only incidentally within larger frozen-product categories. No solicitation isolates frozen bearberries as a distinct commodity or line item, and no vendor was observed bidding specifically on this product.

The active code sits within state and local food-service procurement driven by National School Lunch Program requirements, USDA commodity programs, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) standards, and institutional food service for state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Douglas County, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County, Decatur, and Fulton County across Georgia, Missouri, and Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), county corrections (Santa Clara County), and Head Start organizations. Texas HHSC appears repeatedly, issuing multiple food-and-consumable solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026). These procurements emphasize firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, food-safety certifications, liability insurance minimums ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence), and delivery to multiple school or facility sites. Frozen berries appear in broader frozen-food categories but not as standalone commodity buys, suggesting that specialists in this product line would need to position themselves within multi-category food-service distribution rather than expect isolated line-item awards.
