UNSPSC 50344700: Frozen mulberries

Any of a genus (morus of the family moraceae, the mulberry family) of trees with an edible usually purple multiple fruit that is an aggregate of juicy one-seeded drupes that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344700 Frozen mulberries is a Class code that designates a single commodity — frozen berry products — but state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and does not align consistently with the nominal scope. Of the recent opportunities tagged to this code in the source, only one directly addresses frozen fruit procurement: the Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (posted August 5, 2026, bids due August 19, 2026). The remaining opportunities in the dataset — food service groceries for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and county parks — are broader-scope procurements spanning dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, prepared foods, vegetables, and consumable supplies. These opportunities are tagged to frozen-fruit codes but do not feature frozen mulberries or frozen berries as a primary or standalone commodity. The code sees limited direct purchasing activity; when state and local buyers do source frozen fruit, they typically bundle it within larger food service or institutional groceries contracts rather than issue single-commodity bids.

The geographic footprint of recent activity includes Texas (where the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple institutional food service bids spanning frozen products), Oregon (ODOC's frozen-apple solicitation), Georgia (Hancock County Schools produce bid), New Jersey (frozen vegetables for nutrition assistance programs), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education grocery bid). Issuing bodies range from state health and human services agencies to county boards of education, county commissioners, and state corrections departments. No repeat buyers or concentrated procurement pattern emerges for frozen mulberries specifically. The absence of a recent solicitation explicitly requesting frozen mulberries suggests this commodity either moves through standing agreements, is sourced as a line item within larger food service contracts that do not isolate it for separate bidding, or sees minimal demand in state and local institutional food service today.
