UNSPSC 50342708: Frozen pilgrim cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50342708 Frozen pilgrim cranberries is a Commodity code that covers frozen cranberry products procured by state and local institutions for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for frozen cranberries specifically; instead, frozen cranberries appear as one line item within much broader food and grocery procurement efforts targeting institutional feeding across state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and county departments. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of frozen-food and produce procurement that state health and human services commissions, school boards, and county purchasing offices are actively sourcing. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) facilities statewide, Georgia county boards of education, New Jersey Department of Human Services, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Connecticut and Georgia municipal school systems. These institutions use standing contracts or annual rebids to procure dozens or hundreds of food line items simultaneously, with frozen cranberries bundled alongside frozen vegetables, fruits, prepared entrees, and other shelf-stable or frozen commodities rather than solicited as standalone products.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, with HHSC posting multiple annual IFBs for food service groceries across Big Spring State Hospital, Mexia State Supported Living Center, El Paso State Supported Living Center, and a statewide frozen-food contract serving 18 qualified ordering entities through August 2027, representing an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million. Georgia shows activity through Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for 1,062 cases of food items due October 19, 2026 (which lists frozen fruits among 35 line items), Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh-produce IFB, and Early County Board of Education's May 2026 food bid. Additional procurement appears in New Jersey (frozen-vegetable rebid through the Department of Human Services, June 2026), Oregon (frozen sliced or diced apples, August 2026), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items, June 2026), and Florida (Collier County's food-services ITN for North Collier Regional Park, though noted with a March 2025 due date that predates the posting). Frozen cranberries as a discrete commodity line do not appear in named opportunities; sourcing interest is inferred from the broader frozen-fruit and frozen-vegetable procurement patterns visible across institutional food-service contracts in these jurisdictions.
