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 captures state and local procurement of frozen berry products, including cranberries and berry blends, as components of broader food service supply contracts for schools, hospitals, correctional facilities, and child care programs. The code appears in solicitations where frozen berries are line items within comprehensive grocery or produce procurements rather than standalone specialty buys, and state and local governments acquire these products primarily to support institutional food service operations that must meet federal nutrition standards such as USDA Smart Snacks, CACFP, and National School Lunch Program requirements.

Recent opportunities show issuing bodies concentrated in state health and human services commissions (particularly Texas HHSC and Georgia state agencies), county and municipal school districts across the Southeast and broader United States, county correctional departments, and child care and Head Start providers. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026), covering approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with a historical spend baseline of $32,226.36 annually; the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (electronic response due June 30, 2026, through OpenGov); and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products for child care programs ages 6 weeks to 5 years, with estimated value $969,460.94 and sealed bids due June 24, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC facilities statewide, Dallas), Georgia (multiple school districts including Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Florida (Hillsborough County), and California (Santa Clara County). The County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts at correctional food services (bids due February 5, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries (bids due April 23, 2026) demonstrate that frozen berry procurement spans both school nutrition and institutional correction settings. Contract awards typically go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders based on firm fixed unit pricing; deliveries are required Monday through Friday during school or facility operational hours with temperature controls and HACCP compliance mandated across all settings.
