UNSPSC 50342002: Frozen black satin blackberries

The variety of blackberries known as black satin blackberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342002 Frozen black satin blackberries, a Commodity code, names a single product line within frozen produce that state and local governments procure as part of comprehensive food service contracts for institutional food supply and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show this code sits within much larger, line-item-heavy food service procurements where frozen berries appear as one of dozens or hundreds of individual SKUs rather than as standalone buys.

State and local food service buyers—school districts, state agencies operating hospitals and residential facilities, and county corrections departments—source frozen blackberries alongside other frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, and staples through IFB and RFP processes. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with frozen specialty foods and berries as component line items; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for frozen fruit berries (including blackberries) in 40,000-pound truckload quantities at $0.89 per pound historical pricing; and multiple school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida have solicited frozen foods as part of annual school nutrition procurement cycles. The issuing bodies span state health and corrections agencies, county school systems, municipal school districts, and special-purpose nutrition service authorities. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer for state facility food supply under codes in this family. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' April 2026 ITB for frozen berries (posting April 9, 2026, due April 23, 2026) and the Texas HHSC's July 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (posting July 13, 2026, due July 27, 2026). Frozen blackberries trade as commodity items within these broader procurements; vendors typically respond to entire line-item sheets rather than single SKUs, with pricing submitted per unit on firm fixed basis.
