UNSPSC 50342008: Frozen loganberries

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

UNSPSC 50342008 Frozen loganberries (Commodity) covers state and local procurement of fresh and frozen berries for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code encompasses broader frozen produce and berry categories than the singular commodity name implies. School districts, state health and human services agencies, county detention facilities, and child care organizations dominate this market, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Early County, Decatur, Fulton County, and Henry County), and the Oregon Department of Corrections appearing as recent repeat buyers. Work under the code includes line-item procurement of frozen fruits—berries, mixed vegetables, and specialty produce—as components of larger food service contracts that span proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bid due July 27, 2026, covering 110+ line items of frozen and prepared foods with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36), the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for Fresh Produce SY27 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, encompassing 200+ line items of fresh and frozen produce across multiple varieties), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries (bids due April 23, 2026, seeking one truckload of 40,000 pounds of unsweetened IQF berries at an estimated contract value near $35,600 based on prior-year pricing of $0.89 per pound).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in California, Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, and other states. Texas HHSC issued multiple solicitations (HHS0017660, HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-year baseline of $1.5 million, and the statewide HHS0016792 covering 210 line items with a three-year maximum value of $4.5 million). Georgia school systems posted nine distinct food procurement solicitations during the first half of 2026, predominantly for fresh and frozen produce delivery to 30–94 school sites. Bidders must meet Buy American domestic-content thresholds (typically 51% for processed items), maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance (typically $1 million and $500,000 minimum), comply with E-Verify authorization, and deliver on tight weekly schedules (often Monday–Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.) to multiple school or facility locations. Contract terms run July 1 through June 30 annually with standard renewal options through up to five years total. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises appear consistently across these solicitations, though some (such as Douglas County's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs, estimated $5.5 million across two geographic areas) explicitly encourage small business and minority-owned participation without making it a mandatory set-aside.
