UNSPSC 50346204: Frozen dark raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as dark raspberry that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346204 Frozen dark raspberry is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen berry products supplied to state and local institutions, school districts, and specialized feeding programs. State and local governments procure frozen raspberries primarily as ingredient components in bulk food service operations—institutional cafeterias at state hospitals and supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care programs. The scope extends beyond single-ingredient commodity berries to include frozen berry blends used in prepared entrees, smoothies, and dessert applications meeting USDA grades and federal food safety standards including HACCP and FDA compliance.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health and human services agencies, county and municipal school districts, state departments of corrections, Head Start programs, and county correctional facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple frozen food and consumable procurement notices covering state hospitals and supported living centers. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Douglas County, Fulton County, Decatur), Texas (Head Start of Greater Dallas), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Florida (Hillsborough County) all soliciting frozen and fresh produce including berries for child nutrition services. Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast—Texas, Georgia, and Florida—with secondary activity in the Midwest and California. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' April 2026 ITB for 40,000 pounds of unsweetened, individually quick frozen (IQF) berries in blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, and Marion berry varieties (bid due April 23, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce including multiple berry varieties (bid due June 26, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food procurements covering frozen specialty foods including berry products for state hospitals and supported living centers serving an estimated $4.5 million maximum contract value across multiple facilities statewide (bids due June 2026 and July 2026).
