UNSPSC 50342204: Frozen chandler blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50342204 Frozen chandler blueberries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement — specifically frozen blueberries sourced as a discrete ingredient or finished product for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show these are purchased as part of broader grocery and food-service contracts spanning multiple product categories, not as standalone line items; the code appears most commonly embedded within larger produce, frozen-foods, or institutional nutrition procurements rather than as a dedicated single-commodity buy.

State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include school districts (by far the most active buyer type — appearing in solicitations from Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood School District, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Henry County Schools, and Fulton County Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers), Head Start programs, county correctional facilities, and county school cooperatives. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, driven by National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program funding and Buy American and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance requirements. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer across multiple solicitations for statewide institutional food service. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which bundled frozen blueberries among 110 line items spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (bids due June 30, 2026), covering over 1,100 line items including frozen products; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for grocery products across frozen foods, produce, and meat (bids due June 24, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts including Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Henry County, Douglas County, and Fulton County), Texas (HHSC statewide procurement), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), and Florida (Hillsborough County). The code shows consistent activity through school-year cycles, with most bids posted in spring for July-through-June contract periods and centered on bulk institutional food service rather than retail or single-unit distribution.
