UNSPSC 50342010: Frozen navaho blackberries

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

UNSPSC 50342010 Frozen navaho blackberries, a Commodity code, shows limited recent direct activity under this narrow product specification, though state and local governments do procure frozen berries and similar specialty frozen produce items as part of broader food-service solicitations. When frozen berries appear in recent state and local opportunities, they are typically embedded within comprehensive grocery or food-supply contracts spanning dozens or hundreds of line items, rather than solicited as standalone commodities. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB in April 2026 for approximately 40,000 pounds of unsweetened individually quick frozen berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries, or equivalent varieties) for institutional food service, with the previous contract priced at $0.89 per pound. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and county correctional facilities represent the primary issuing bodies procuring frozen produce under broader food-service codes, though the specific frozen blackberry line item rarely appears as a standalone buy.

State agencies in Texas, Georgia, and other high-activity procurement regions regularly solicit frozen food items as part of larger food-and-consumables packages for state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in 2026 covering supplemental food and consumable products for state facilities statewide, with frozen specialty foods listed among dozens of commodity categories. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Florida, and other states procure frozen vegetables, fruits, and prepared foods to support National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, though these opportunities typically appear as multi-thousand-line-item contracts rather than single-commodity buys. The geographic concentration of recent activity centers on Texas state agencies and Georgia school districts, with secondary activity from California counties and Florida school systems. A vendor pursuing this code should expect to encounter it chiefly within larger food-service RFPs and IFBs issued by state agencies and school districts, not as a standalone line item; pricing will track commodity-market rates and wholesale frozen-fruit benchmarks, and qualification requirements will emphasize HACCP compliance, food-safety certifications, and the ability to meet institutional delivery schedules and volume commitments.
