UNSPSC 50342206: Frozen hardyblue blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50342206 Frozen hardyblue blueberries is a Commodity code that captures frozen berry procurement by state and local governments for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show frozen blueberries purchased as line items within broader grocery and fresh produce contracts rather than standalone specialty procurements; the code appears most active within school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county corrections departments acquiring frozen fruits as components of meal programs compliant with USDA nutrition standards, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) requirements, and federal Buy American provisions. Issuing bodies span state procurement offices (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal school systems (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District), county corrections agencies (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), and specialized service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). State health agencies and school districts appear as repeat buyers, with numerous districts issuing annual or multi-year food service RFPs and IFBs that reference frozen produce categories.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC state facility contracts), Georgia (numerous school district solicitations including Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, and Douglas County), and scattered activity in Florida, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, covering approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples at approximately $32,226 historical annual spend), the City of Bridgeport IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the school board's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products under CACFP requirements (bids due June 24, 2026, with estimated procurement value of $969,460.94), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites (bids due June 26, 2026). Frozen blueberries as a discrete commodity appear less frequently than the broader frozen-fruit or frozen-produce categories that dominate current solicitations.
