UNSPSC 50342013: Frozen tayberries

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

UNSPSC 50342013 Frozen tayberries, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. Of the sixteen recent opportunities tagged under this code, none solicit frozen tayberries or similar specialty frozen berries as standalone line items; the tagged opportunities instead solicit broad-based grocery and food-service contracts spanning dozens or hundreds of commodity lines, institutional food programs, and fresh produce for schools and public facilities. The mismatch indicates that the code's classification in state and local procurement systems does not reflect current buying patterns under it, or that frozen tayberries are not a material procurement focus at the state and local level.

Recent state and local food procurement activity concentrates heavily on institutional feeding — school nutrition, state hospital and supported-living-center cafeterias, and Head Start child-care programs — solicited by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county governments across Texas, Georgia, New Jersey, Oregon, Connecticut, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 Purchase of Food Items (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026, for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable groceries), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017338V1 Frozen Food Products (IFB due August 18, 2026, with an estimated annual volume of $9 million across state hospitals and supported-living centers statewide), and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB SN002-2027 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, for over 200 line items of produce across multiple apple, berry, and vegetable varieties). These opportunities emphasize volume commitments, firm fixed pricing, strict delivery and food-safety compliance, Buy American provisions in school contracts, and preference programs favoring state vendors or minority-owned enterprises where applicable.
