UNSPSC 50342203: Frozen brigitta blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50342203 Frozen brigitta blueberries is a Commodity code representing a single frozen fruit product line. State and local governments procure frozen blueberries primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services institutions serving meals to students, inmates, and residents. Recent solicitations show blueberries embedded within broader grocery and frozen-foods procurement calls rather than as standalone line items; they appear alongside other frozen fruits, proteins, and prepared foods in comprehensive food-service contracts spanning 100+ line items per procurement.

Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, county and municipal school districts, county sheriff's offices, and state-supported living centers across multiple states. School districts represent the largest category of buyers—Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) all posted recent procurements naming frozen berries or frozen fruits as line items. State-level buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (serving state hospitals and supported living centers) and the Oregon Department of Corrections. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, California, and New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026, baseline spend $32,226 for all line items), which includes frozen foods across multiple NIGP commodity classes; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (response due June 26, 2026) featuring berries in the product mix; and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen fruit berries (response due April 23, 2026) seeking 40,000 pounds of unsweetened, individually quick frozen berries in 10–60 pound cases at approximately $0.89 per pound based on prior-year pricing. School nutrition procurement timelines typically run spring (RFP posted, bids due 4–8 weeks out) for July 1 contract start dates; state-level food service and correctional facility procurements post year-round with quarterly or annual contract terms.
