UNSPSC 50342214: Frozen spartan blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50342214 Frozen spartan blueberries is a Commodity code representing a single product line within food procurement for state and local institutional buyers—specifically frozen berry inventory for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care centers. State and local governments buying under this code source frozen blueberries as components of institutional meal service, typically bundled within broader grocery or frozen-food procurements rather than as standalone line-item solicitations. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Fulton County Schools in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and state supported living centers), Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc.), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), and city school nutrition services (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). School districts and institutional food service operations dominate recent activity, with frozen blueberries appearing as individual line items within broader RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs that specify case counts, case sizes, and nutritional compliance requirements.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, particularly Georgia (multiple school districts and counties), Texas (HHSC statewide and Dallas Head Start), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which spans approximately 110 food line items with quantities of 10 to 70 cases per item under a firm fixed-price contract; Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce meeting CACFP requirements (bids due June 24, 2026, with estimated value of $969,460.94); and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016590 for one full truckload of frozen fruit berries estimated at 40,000 pounds (bids due April 23, 2026). Frozen blueberries, when itemized, typically appear alongside mixed frozen berries, strawberries, and blackberries in produce and frozen-food categories; the code shows moderate activity as a component of larger institutional food sourcing rather than as a standalone commodity.
