UNSPSC 50342208: Frozen misty blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50342208 Frozen misty blueberries is a Commodity code that covers frozen berry products sourced for institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure frozen blueberries and related frozen berry products primarily to support school nutrition programs, state institutional facilities including hospitals and state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and child care programs participating in federal meal programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program). Recent solicitations show blueberries and mixed berry products bundled within broader frozen food and produce procurement requests rather than as standalone commodity buys, reflecting integration into multi-line institutional food supply contracts where unit pricing and minimum fill rates drive vendor selection.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Henry County Schools in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospital and supported living center food service), county corrections facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office in California), and federal Head Start grantees. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with additional recent solicitations in Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, and California. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on April 9, 2026 (closing April 23, 2026) for approximately 40,000 pounds of unsweetened individually quick-frozen berries including blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and Marion berries, packaged in cases of 10 to 60 pounds with pricing submitted per unit on a FOB Destination basis; the prior award to Pueblo Trading Company in February 2024 at $0.89 per pound provides a pricing reference point. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) and HHS0017660 (due July 27, 2026) covering food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers with historical spend in the $1.5 to $32 million range across multi-year terms, where frozen fruit items including blueberries are typically included as line items within broader frozen food and produce specifications rather than as discrete commodity buys.
