UNSPSC 50342201: Frozen bluecrop blueberries

The variety of blueberries known as bluecrop blueberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342201 Frozen bluecrop blueberries is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of larger grocery and food-service supply contracts for institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and facility food service operations. Recent solicitations show that frozen blueberries and similar frozen fruits appear as line items within comprehensive food-procurement RFPs and IFBs issued by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments; the code itself does not surface standalone opportunities for blueberries alone, but rather as one item among hundreds in multi-category food-supply contracts. The mix of issuing bodies reflects institutional food-service demand across K–12 school districts (Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Fulton County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), state-level health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, supplying state hospitals and state-supported living centers), Head Start organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), county corrections facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction), and state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections). School districts and state agencies dominate this procurement category, with Texas HHSC appearing as a repeat issuer of large multi-item food contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia school districts (Bulloch, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Fulton, Decatur, Hancock, Early County) and Texas (state-level HHSC procurements and Head Start of Greater Dallas)—with additional recent activity in Missouri (Rockwood School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), New Jersey (Department of Human Services Division of Family Development), California (Santa Clara County), and Georgia statewide. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026, covering approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, beverages, and supplies with a historical baseline of $32,226.36 annually; the Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with proposals due March 11, 2026, requiring fresh specialty fruits and vegetables delivered to 18 elementary schools with an estimated annual budget of $600,000; and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen berries (including blueberries), due April 23, 2026, with a historical benchmark of $0.89 per pound. Frozen blueberries as a specific commodity appear most prominently in the Oregon ODOC procurement and as implicit line items in the large Texas HHSC and Georgia school district food bids, though the source does not isolate blueberry-specific activity or volume across these contracts.
