UNSPSC 50344802: Frozen bayberries

The variety of fruit known as bayberries that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344802 Frozen bayberries, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting frozen bayberries; instead, the code appears as a miscategorized tag on broader grocery and food service procurements where frozen berries may incidentally appear as one line item among hundreds. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, county corrections facilities, and Head Start programs seeking comprehensive food service supplies for institutional feeding operations. The actual work solicited spans full-service grocery provisioning—fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and supplies—rather than standalone frozen-bayberry procurement.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia (multiple school districts and county boards of education), and California (Santa Clara County corrections), with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), spanning 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with firm fixed-unit pricing; the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products (bids due June 30, 2026, with Buy American and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance); and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements (sealed bids due June 24, 2026). The code shows no isolated procurement demand for frozen bayberries as a standalone commodity; frozen berries surface only as minor line items within institutional food service contracts where lowest-price sealed-bid competition and firm fixed-unit pricing prevail across 12-month terms.
