UNSPSC 50346206: Frozen focke dwarf raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50346206 Frozen focke dwarf raspberry is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The source material shows that state and local governments are actively procuring frozen fruit and berry products—specifically frozen berries, mixed vegetables, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care operations—but the procurement records do not reference the specific product name embedded in this code's title. Instead, recent solicitations use broader commodity classifications (such as NIGP classes 375-15, 380-30, 385-30/42/47/48/95, and 390) and describe frozen berries generically as components within larger food service contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016590 in April 2026 seeking 40,000 pounds of unsweetened, Grade A or B individually quick frozen berries including blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and Marion berries; similarly, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792) covering frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, county boards of education, city school districts, and child care organizations across Texas, Georgia, California, Oregon, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut.

Recent activity is concentrated among school nutrition programs in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County, Decatur, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton County, Henry County), Texas state health agencies (HHSC and El Paso facility), and specialty institutional food service (county corrections facilities, Head Start programs, state hospitals). The representative solicitations show that frozen berries are typically procured as line items within larger grocery or food-supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. The County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) represents a narrower frozen-fruit procurement, seeking dried fruits and nuts for the Sheriff's Department correctional facility on an all-or-none, five-year term basis. The Texas HHSC solicitations (HHS0016792, HHS0017449, HHS0017660) enumerate frozen products within 210+ line-item statewide food procurement agreements covering state hospitals and supported living centers across multiple regions, with historical spend baselines ranging from $32,226 to $1.5 million annually per facility. School district solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed goods), and alignment with USDA nutrition standards; pricing is submitted on a firm fixed-unit basis, with delivery required multiple times weekly to centralized warehouses and individual sites. The code shows relevant market activity but little standardized terminology around the specific product descriptor—state and local buyers treat frozen berries as a grocery component rather than a distinct procurement line, making pursuit difficult without integration into larger food-service relationships.
