UNSPSC 50342003: Frozen boysenberries

A large bramble fruit with a raspberry flavor; the trailing hybrid bramble yielding this fruit and developed by crossing several blackberries and raspberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342003 Frozen boysenberries is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the broader food procurement activity of state and local government. In practice, state and local procurement bodies tag frozen berry purchases under this code as part of larger, mixed-produce or grocery solicitations—institutional food service for schools, hospitals, correction facilities, and special-purpose child nutrition programs. The code appears rarely as a standalone line item; instead, frozen boysenberries surface within comprehensive bids covering dozens or hundreds of food products alongside apples, broccoli, ice cream, dairy, and prepared entrees, evaluated on unit price and product quality but aggregated into single food-service contracts.

State and local buyers using this code span school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), state healthcare agencies (hospital and state supported living center food service), county and municipal correction facilities, Head Start and child care providers, and in one instance a county office of the sheriff. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, Fulton County Schools), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for Big Spring State Hospital and El Paso State Supported Living Center, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), California (Santa Clara County Correction), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) spanning 110 food line items with a prior-year spend of $32,226, and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (bids due June 26, 2026) comprising over 200 produce line items across three school locations. The code does not command standalone procurement activity; frozen boysenberries appear only within larger food-service RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs where they compete for inclusion based on vendor capability to meet institutional nutrition standards, delivery schedules, HACCP compliance, and price competitiveness against alternative suppliers.
