UNSPSC 50342709: Frozen searless cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50342709 Frozen searless cranberries is a Commodity code capturing specialty frozen fruit products that state and local procurement offices buy for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs, state hospital and correctional facility cafeterias, and child nutrition centers. Recent solicitations show this code sits within a broader frozen-food and grocery procurement ecosystem where state and local agencies source cranberries alongside dozens of other frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, and pantry staples under single consolidated food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items.

State agencies and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing in multiple recent opportunities for state hospital and state supported living center food procurement, and Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, and Early County Board of Education) visible across fresh-produce and grocery solicitations. Municipal school systems in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), a county sheriff's detention facility (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff), a child care nonprofit (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and the Oregon Department of Corrections also posted relevant opportunities. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, California, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026, covering 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with prior-year baseline of $32,226.36); the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (response due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ line items including berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits); and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for grocery products (response due June 24, 2026, covering approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat under the Child and Adult Care Food Program). Opportunities consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, food-recall accessibility, delivery within specified windows (typically Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), and firm fixed pricing with capped mid-contract escalation tied to CPI or USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices.
