UNSPSC 50343802: Frozen cascade huckleberries

The variety of huckleberries known as cascade huckleberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343802 Frozen cascade huckleberries is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen berries and similar frozen fruits under this code to supply institutional food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs, detention facilities, and state-supported living centers. The recent opportunities show purchasing bodies acquiring frozen fruits as components of broader grocery and food service supply contracts spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and produce. Scope varies from single-commodity procurement—as in the Oregon Department of Corrections' request for one truckload of unsweetened, individually quick frozen berries—to multi-line-item grocery bids where frozen fruits represent one category among hundreds of food SKUs. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, county and municipal school districts, state correctional and institutional care facilities, and special-purpose food service districts. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school boards in Georgia and Missouri, and state corrections departments appear repeatedly as repeat buyers of frozen fruits within broader food service contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with solicitations from Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026) spanning frozen foods among 110 line items with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 40,000 pounds of unsweetened, individually quick frozen berries in multiple varieties (due April 23, 2026) at approximately $0.89 per pound; and the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products (due June 30, 2026), subject to Buy American requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Most school-based procurements require firm, fixed pricing for the contract period, HACCP plans, and 24/7 recall accessibility; state institutional procurements often include price-adjustment mechanisms tied to CPI or federal minimum wage. Delivery to multiple sites, Monday-through-Friday service windows, and temperature-control compliance at specified degrees Fahrenheit are standard contractual requirements across all recent solicitations.
