UNSPSC 50342703: Frozen grycleski cranberries

The variety of cranberries known as grycleski cranberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342703 Frozen grycleski cranberries (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily as a component of broader food-service contracts rather than as a standalone item. Recent solicitations show frozen berries and cranberries appearing in large institutional food-service buys — including state hospital meal programs, school nutrition contracts, and correctional facility foodservice — but the code itself captures only a fraction of each procurement's scope. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, school districts, county boards of education, and municipal correction departments across multiple states, with contracts typically structured as firm fixed-price food commodity agreements running one to three years with optional renewals.

Frozen cranberries and related frozen berry products appear in recent opportunities across Texas, Georgia, California, and other states, though they surface most consistently in Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements for state institutional facilities. The Texas HHS IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 11, 2026) both solicit food and consumable products via IFB with frozen items as components, with the El Paso contract showing historical annual spend of $1.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016590 (April 23, 2026) sought one truckload (40,000 pounds) of unsweetened individually quick frozen berries including options for cranberry varieties at a historical benchmark of $0.89 per pound. The Santa Clara County ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (February 5, 2026) for the Elmwood Correctional Facility included dried cranberries (1,000 cases annually) as part of a five-line dried fruits and nuts contract. School districts in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Missouri procuring grocery items and produce for child nutrition programs reference frozen fruits and vegetables in broader RFPs and IFBs, with estimated annual spending ranging from approximately $600,000 to $9 million per district depending on student enrollment and meal participation. Code-level activity is sparse — frozen grycleski cranberries do not surface as a dedicated line item in any recent solicitation, suggesting the code either mischaracterizes actual procurement, captures a specialty variant of frozen berries with minimal demand, or applies to items rarely tagged with this specific eight-digit code in state and local practice.
