UNSPSC 50342215: Frozen toro blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50342215 Frozen toro blueberries (Commodity) captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen berries for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and state facility operations. Recent solicitations show state health and human services agencies, county school boards, municipal school districts, and corrections systems purchasing frozen berry products as components of broader grocery and produce contracts. The code's concrete scope spans individual frozen-fruit line items within large multi-category food procurements—vendors bid on frozen blueberries alongside other frozen produce, proteins, and pantry staples to fill institutional meal programs. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state facilities), county boards of education across Georgia (school nutrition), Oregon Department of Corrections, and municipal school systems serving elementary through high school populations.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary opportunities in Oregon and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which spans approximately 110 line items including frozen products under firm fixed-price blanket contracts; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (sealed bids due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ produce line items across multiple apple and berry varieties for the 2026-27 school year; and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries (40,000 pounds estimated, bids due April 23, 2026) seeking Grade A or B individually quick frozen berries in mixed varieties. Contract terms typically run July–June calendar years for school districts and September–August for state health facilities, with annual renewal options. School districts and state agencies emphasize HACCP compliance, 24/7 recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing with limited midterm adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks, and delivery within specified temperature and shelf-life parameters. No recent opportunities show set-asides specific to disadvantaged enterprises under this code.
